The podcast is designed for real estate investors.  

This is what those who are attracted to the concept of wholesaling should be doing.

The main design I'm looking at would be a two story house with a finished daylight basement, and two bedrooms on each level, for a total of 6. 

The goal being to gross 2000 a month to leave as much room on the bone for all other expenses and to make it more attractive to the bank.

Is there a way to structure deals with short-term seller financing or joint ventures that can be more attractive to sellers and just as profitable for investors?

These folks have lived through many societal upheavals and don't want to put their lives at risk by attracting unnecessary attention.

When you move to the other corners of the city you can get some more attractive deals, but then you have more management issues and pricing volatility.A lot of Boston money is coming down here right now and driving up multi-family prices. 

The FHA loan is designed for actual owner occupants, not investments. 

Do you think the finished product would attract long term stable tenants?  

@Bob Huggins Especially since you're listed on so many different platforms, none of those are going to outport anything useful that's compatible with each other - instead of fighting with their data and trying to consolidate it, I think you'll find it far less frustrating/more useful to design your own spreadsheet
