Many judges would feel you got paid even if no cash was sent to you.I could see this potentially working on a higher-end property that it in excellent condition with a Grade A tenant.  

Hey Joanne, you’re definitely onto something with room rentals.. it can be an excellent strategy for offsetting a hefty mortgage and, in some cases, bringing in higher total rent than a single lease.

If you truly believe you have credible capabilities and commitment, you’ll need to convince them that you are worth the risk (which likely will be a hard sell).

My recommendation is to have someone put in excel and show you the actual numbers.

Don't solely rely on third-party management companies; instead, focus on building a solid asset management plan and, if needed, bring in experts or partners who excel in this field.

Hi Meir,Birmingham is an excellent place to invest.

I am curious to know what is the lowest I can expect interest rate to be + buy down with an excellent credit score.

I'm going to go against the grain here- in most, not ALL, cases, credible contractors won't just use the materials you provide.

Whoever gives me the most business and has an excellent close record will first be presented with off-market opportunities. 

You could put in a range of numbers for purchase price and closing costs, renovation expenses, and expected returns and you could very quickly get a range of projected return on investments (although an excel spreadsheet could easily do this as well), but I'm sure as technology develops we will see even more sophistication in AI's ability to assist in deal analyzing.
