It's an extra step, but now it's a direct transaction, not a third-party transaction.

I love hardwood but do laminate because the issues of adding 3/4" to the floor with doorways etc is too much of a PITA.

A few other strategies I've thought of are bandit signs, Every Door Direct Mail, and Facebook ads. 

When you put no money down, it can be tight on multi families, even if it looks like the rent will cover the whole PITI, even with extra left over!

Also zoning may be hard to come by - in NJ when I finished the basement in my SFH, it had to go through zoning approval to be sure I wasn't adding a kitchen and trying to make it a multi-family, since that area wasn't zoned for it.

There are a lot of extra costs that come with MFRs that many forget about.

Thus I entered REI 5 years ago.I"m a strong believer in the BRRRR method, and am comfortable with the extra leverage....to help wealth grow faster.So, I'm looking for fix and hold rental properties that will earn 10% to 20% IRR.

Let's pretend it's a generous 1 yr CD with no early withdrawal penalty.7 year CD: 2% and penalized six months of interest if you pull funds out early.If you pull funds out after exactly 12 months, it's a wash:1 yr CD @ 1 yr: $10k * 1% = $100.7 yr CD @ 1 yr with penalty: $10k * 2% - [$10k * 2% / 2] = $100.After 18 months...1 yr CD @ 1.5 years: $10k * 1% * 1.5 years = $150.7 yr CD @ 1.5 years and penalized six months of interest: $10k * 2% * 1.5 years - [$10k * 2% * 0.5 years] = $200.So there's your low risk / low reward "CD hacking" tip of the day to get rich by earning an extra $50 on $10k after a year and a half.

It's tough for a spreadsheet to differentiate a B- from a C+ area or a C- from a D (warzone).
