I have heard it's relatively consistent with cheap housing (cash flow comes to mind).

Feel free to connect, happy to chat, happy to help you if I can, and look forward to seeing everyone out on the field!

I have a background in sales and I believe that's where I can attribute most of the connections I've made with cash buyers.

Feel free to reach out if you need my services. 

(assuming the cash flow is higher than PITI).My second question is if I acquired a duplex via seller financing, would that also decrease my DTI?

@Austin Carr I don't know of any local groups who analyze deals in person, but I host a free session each Saturday at 4:00 P.M.

Why would you give them free rent with they still have full access and use to the stove, refrigerator, walls, closets, flooring, roof, garage, lawn, etc.?

While I have not gone through the process for a PA Sheriff Sale purchase, if the borrower had a free and clear property, I would lend against that free and clear property and the borrower could use those funds at a sheriff sale.   

But, too often, investors confuse the politics that they like, with the politics that actually increase housing prices, rents, and long-term cash flow.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions
