@Kyle Souza A couple quick and fast tips on qualifying for multifamily loans are having enough experience in the eye's of the lender, a 1.3X DSCR (using lender underwriting..not broker's underwriting), and a net worth equal to or greater than your loan size.

Keeping an eye on upcoming policies will help spot where those opportunities may lie.

because bulldozers are popping up in the most unlikely places...I'll keep keeping my eye out.

MTRs are great, and there is a lot of opportunity with the different medical facilities in the area, as well as the influx of military and the gaining popularity of MTRs among the general public, not just traveling nurses.

Purchase price: $260,000 Cash invested: $52,000 This gem of a condo caught my eye, despite the fact that I traditionally believed condos weren't as great an investment as single family homes.

Think about it now with the new brokerage laws where buyers are expected to pay brokers fee's if they are not paying thousands to mortgage brokers it leaves them more money to pay their Agent who actually finds the house for them helps them with insprections etc etc.. buying that home in British Columbia really opened my eyes to how goofed up our owner occ lending process is .. and costly.

Note AB468 has stiff penalties for the medical provider providing bogus ESA authorization, but to the best of my knowledge no one has yet to be fined for selling ESA authorizations.  

Quote from @Blaise Peterson: Daughter: 26yo and earns >100k/yr and, historically, has rolled her eyes when I mention the phrase "real estate".

I do like real estate, I have a great eye for design, but would hate to have to evict someone—that would be my worst nightmare, so I’m not sure I’m cut out for being a landlord (although I would fully anticipate having a property manager)Is option #3 a far inferior option compared to keeping our expensive house in expensive city as a rental and only having to deal with one property that gives us great appreciation in 10 years ?
