It's pretty slim pickings out there.

If you put 20% down your cash flow might be slim.

If you can only purchase in a while don't get too attached to any deal.Germantown is the Shangri-La for most investors so the actual chance of getting any reasonable deal there unless you have fantastic connections is slim to none.

I've always done single family homes before.The numbers look good to me, but the margins are slim- then I look at maintenance since there's 6 properties with 6 roofs, and I question myself.I crunched all the numbers, and if I take purchase price + points + rehab costs I get $835k.  

(In the stock market, I'm a momentum investor (CAN SLIM type).)

Chances are slim as the bank has evaluated the value, plus you can't assign a sort sale, and you need a POF in the name of the buyer on the contract.

Your Cash Flow margins starts getting slim when you do add it.  

As long as you know that you are paying the full retail price for a new home and are ok with that slim margin of safety then go for it. 

I'm not leaving slim enough margins to worry about unknown repairs and this isn't my first purchase.  

Sense there's a slim chance that I won't find 100% coverage, I was wondering if using two lenders for my first deal makes any sense.
