Modern or traditional finish outs?

@Ramin R kamalBuy an undervalued property.Look at comparables and recent sales to get an idea of how much a home will go for in that area.

We've employed a similar strategy here in Atlanta over the last 20 years (albeit with SFHs), so we should definitely compare notes.

If i were to go the traditional route I would need at least 20% down on it, which I dont have at the moment.

Sometimes its good to do some planning and sell in years that you may have less overall income compared to other years. 

MF is in huge demand right now compared to what is was pre-burst.

I just bought a traditional 3/2/2 SFH and got roommates since I hadn't heard of "house-hacking" the multifamily homes at the time. 

The neighborhood is quiet, not affluent and not a war zone and base on my research, comparable rental properties are between $1,300 and $1,500.

Where to invest or how far away depends on you, you can head upstate were prices are more reasonable or you can head South or to Midwest prices are manageable compare to our local market and laws might be more in Landlord favor..

Nope, never, nada....not with a traditional loan.
