The expansion of remote work and general affordability has driven an influx of young and retiring families to coastal communities.

Lauderdale due to some family in those areas. 

By talking more to the police, we found out that the main tenant had a long history of inviting guests in exchange for help around the house and that those relations would always turn tumultuous and that the police visited the house several times each quarter over civil complaints, suspicious activity, noise, drug related activity, and a bunch of other civil nuisance type of calls.

Is it easier to do a single family home or a duplex as first time home buyer with house hacking strategy?

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

get a guy on stage show pictures of his family which is probably not really his family. 

Personally, I started out as a bird dog and wholesaler finding deals for other investors in single-family homes.

So we have a property that is categorized as a 2-4 unit/multi family residential.

It must have been very difficult to find a two family with solid numbers in that area.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?
