This increases the likelihood that they will reduce or reject the claim.

I’m not claiming to know it all—I’m here to learn, build relationships, and grow.Here’s what I bring to the table:A strong understanding of leveraging Net Operating Income (NOI) to secure financing and reduce out-of-pocket costs.Experience in negotiating deals and identifying opportunities, especially in the LA market where many multi-family properties are under $2 million.Skills in managing larger properties, from scheduling repairs and upgrades to optimizing operations for long-term value.The ability to use AI tools for data analysis, market insights, and deal projections to help us act quickly and efficiently.I’ll be upfront—my funds are limited after dedicating the COVID years to supporting my family, but I have the work ethic and expertise to find and manage properties that perform.

I'd also suggest considering a partnership if you feel comfortable with that in order to reduce the risk completely on you. 

Unit 4 - short-term rental (this would be best for a unit with a separate entrance so you reduce the bother to other tenants because the changeovers will be more here)Is anyone doing all three (LTR, MTR, STR) in their multi or house hack now?

If your leasing application process is thorough and well thought out, and if your lease agreement has been well drafted by your local attorney and if it includes clauses that permit you/your property manager enough latitude to maneuver and anticipate undesirable tenant behaviors, both actions and inactions, and you have operational processes which align with enforcement of your lease, then you've done all you can do to reduce this inherent risk of an undesirable tenant.  

This reduces their upfront cost so they don’t need a large deposit.

I thought people would just refinance their loan if they got it at a high interest rate, reducing the risk of jumping into the market at a bad cycle.

In some areas, purchase prices and value add opportunities align well with BRRRR, while in others the margins might be tighter.NOI plaus a big role in success, esepically with MF, so increasing rents and reducing expenses are key.

Just reduce there rent by $5 and they will be happy to do it.
