It can easily take 6+ months to find a motivated seller. - Just be prepared, because a motivated seller typically has a property with issues you need to be sure you can solve.

I have had a lot of success purchasing 5 bedrooms houses next to larger universities and have been able to easily find tenants.

You can spend $150-200k and easily hit 1%.

I just winning a bid and very regret. 

It’s a win-win: investors get the capital they need to grow their portfolios, and lenders earn competitive returns with a relatively low-risk investment.It’s worth considering if you're looking for more funding options or better returns!

But I could easily make this a 3 bed, 2 bath within the existing sq ft. 

It is about creating an experience and really focusing on easily accessibility with convenience. 

In 2021 we bought several 4plexes that cashflowed easily at 25% down.  

Combine this with the deliberate targeting of unsophisticated investors or those without the resources to run ordinary diligence and you have a winning recipe.

This is an unrealistic scenario because you cannot easily find someone to give you 95% financing on four properties.
