The CT market has been great from a wealth building standpoint, but poor for generating predictable cash flow.

@Kristee BadetHouse hacking involves living in a multi-unit property and renting out others, potentially offsetting mortgage costs and allowing savings for a personal home.

I ended up trying to do the cash for keys, offered them a set amount, offered to forgive the rent they never paid and gave them 2 weeks to move out.

I've tried some hard money lenders too but they don't seem to have a product for self storage where there is no current income coming in.The kicker is we've been able to negotiate the price down from 400k to 300k because we know they're trying to get their cash out and they told us they couldn't get a loan either. 

It's way easier to relate to you and help you out if we can see your smiling face. - Second, give us a couple of sentences about yourself.

I have a lead on multi-family deal that should cash flow at least 1k/month, probably more.

I manage furnished rentals in North Dallas, Plano< Richardson-- but we rent out the whole space.

I wish the answer was you just screen them out but some of them are quite adept at hiding it.

I really would not be negotiating cash for keys now with the daughter at all.. 

Expect very low LTVs (we're talking like 40-60% down minimum), much higher rates, and very long close times for out of country financing.
