@Michael Johnson there is really no magic pill when it comes to finding deals off of the market.

Make sure your attorney includes "a poison pill".

Many Airbnb guests are first-timers, so a personal meeting may put them more at ease.This might sound like I'm going a bit overboard, but I'm a big believer in the review economy and want to make sure I go above and beyond to build up my reputation, even if it means a slight reduction of cash flow.Regulatory wise, I'm not too concerned.

If I own a 6 flat and increase the rents by 50/mo per unit, I’ve increased the value of my building; if I appeal my tax bill and win a reduction, I’ve increased the value of my building.

For example, if they sign another six-month lease, offer them a reduction in one month’s rent.

If a tenant is renting a 3 bedroom home, and reported that one of the rooms had a leak 6 months ago, but became uninhabitable as of 3 months ago (can’t figure out where the problem lies and outside paneling is going to be coming off to search further), should they receive a reduction in rent?

Time is not the point, interest reduction by reducing the number of payments is the point.

In my experience, one can still deliver a 'bitter' pill with some honey on the side.

The house will rent with no problem.The seller will do a delayed settlement for 5 years subject to the existing mortgage.The seller will be relieved of the mortgage payment and the buyer (delayed settlement buyer with equity interest) will benefit from cash flow a reduction of the mortgage.So these deals are out there if you are looking and understand how to write the offer..

And you are eligible for 96.5% LTV financing (although buying a triplex or 4-plex has slightly tougher cash-flow requirements than a duplex under FHA guidelines).If you are buying commercial property, rates are higher than residential, and I don't know of an interest rate reduction, just because you would live there.
