One technique for finding deals that intrigues me is looking up NODs (Notices of Default) in the public records and then reaching out to the property owners (probably via postal mail) to see if they are interested in selling.It seems like there's a decent chance to find a highly motivated seller and perhaps a very good deal using this method.I am wondering if anyone in the forums has used (or attempted) this technique, and if so, what sort of results you've seen.

And, your comments about Hostfully sound about par for the course- startup entitlement mentality / tone deafness with no solid business model, no path to profitability, and just hoping to get bought or go public. 

I was recently reading different articles about interest rates and their fluctuations and I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the resilience of the owner financing space when the interest rates go up.

I'm  interested in the HUD "Good Neighbor Next Door" program which gives a 50% discount to public service employees.

I have not seen any 'good' public resources for finding a 2+ plex.

The six-story office building will have 300,000 sf of office space and 20,000 sf of retail space.

Of course you can house hack with a SFR by, essentially, having a roommate, but personally I would want my own space especially if I owned the place.

I am a little concerned about making the change because I am wondering if tenants will be turned off that there is basically a small living room/kitchen and that is the only communal space in the house.

Feel free to send me a message as I'm active in this space in the Houston Metro.
