I built that 3 years ago now and it blends right in and its hard to tell its a new build.. 

In order to accomplish that, we have a blended portfolio of an Oakland duplex that appreciates but doesn't cashflow, a SFH that appreciates (and wouldn't cashflow if we moved), and a low-income apartment complex in South Chicago that cashflows (15-25% cash on cash return if you do or don't factor in the debt service being paid down) that is unlikely to appreciate more than 1% YOY.

And if you are unable to qualify on your own, you can ask a related person (be sure to check with your MLO) to co-sign with you as a non-occupant borrower, if they are willing, able, and can combine your blended income and debts to help you qualify. 

(i.e. a larger price with seller financing, a lower price with private money, something in the middle that blends the two).

It is a personal decision and strategy blended with psychology / attitude is important.

Good news is he won't stink, as he's in between those walls of the seamless pipe.  

Seamless way to would be to have the LLC in the state of the property.

@Kyle Dahlstrom Got a very reasonable quote from Everest Seamless Gutters and currently using Chris Stinton at Honest Exteriors for gutters and some additional fascia work.

That way they blend the portfolio overall return higher over time but still stay passive.
