I may switch to a 5% conventional loan to avoid the risk of failing the self-sufficiency test.

@Susan Thelen it’s likely easiest you do this in excel so you can easily modify variables and test the NPV sensitivity.

Unfortunately, now I'm realizing house hacking might not even be a thing with the new test they are doing in 2023.

In short you hire a lead testing specialist.

Furthermore, should any tenant request that mold be tested by a laboratory or a mold “remediation specialist,” costs of such tests will be completely borne by the tenants.

Stress test your capex, occupancy rates, rent rates, etc

Hi Bob,If you have had a positive experience like it seems that you have, I'd suggest sticking with your current turnkey provider.8 years is a long time and only having 2 tenant turnovers in that time is fantastic.They have stood the test of time and not many turnkey providers do.Also, why fix it if it's not broken?

D2S is great too, just know it's more work and will take more time refining your scripts and motivated seller list criteria, doing split testing, negotiating, and taking phone calls often.

The fist one for $ 5,000 to "test the waters".
