@Scott Bridgehouse,Purely my opinion ...Regardless of how you're financing it, when analyzing a property as an investor, I would expect any multi-family property to meet commercial criteria.

SFHs are abundant and you can get a smaller starter home but you have to consider if you are going to occupy the home when you buy or whether it would be a pure investment property purchase (20-25% conventional).

While that is absolutely no substitute for a battery of surveys (soils, etc) performed by the appropriate engineers, it can help get you a basic idea about the property and what kind of work might be necessary.  

Plenty of people are successful operating pure Section 8 rentals. 

There is nothing wrong with using some principles of Socialism to maintain a decent/compassionate society First, as much as some of us want it, we do not live in a pure capitalistic society so in essence Capitalism in it's pure form is gone, never to return.

I am talking 10+ years roofs, 15+ years AC units and water heaters, landscaping is pure dirt, and the 2 units that I looked at are in serious need of repair, like new baths, kitchens, paint and flooring.Based on my calculations using the BP calculator and Jake and Gino's, in order to make sense of this deal I should pay no more than $900k in order to achieve 10% COC, 1.34 DCRS, and a cap rate of 9.1%.

If you buy it as purely an investment property you'll need a traditional mortgage which will come with a down payment requirement of as much as 20%.

Because I'm a baby at/in this I will have to puree what you have given and take small bites.

Hi @Dalton N Green,I don't have any clue about Deal Automator in specific, and I hope it is an exception to the rule in this space.Every company I'm aware of that has popped up over the years claiming to "make deals happen automatically" and "make investing easy" are pure crockery.These shiny object companies play on the pain-points that all investors feel in the process of trying to find and analyze deals, vet partners and vendors, and scale.In reality each of these companies has some useful function to it, but beware of the claim of any company to make a deal and automatic thing.Good luck out there!
