I disagree agents are flat out lying about ownership on a daily basis. 

And of course - what part of town do you actually want to live in on a daily basis?

I feel like that would take astronomical amounts of time. find a good broker.. and be very cautious of wholesalers.. get on MLS feeds  they are free and come to you daily. not that hard.figure out the median price point for the city and buy above it.. that usually will in of itself get U in the better areas.lets say the median is 150k then simple logic will tell you a 50k home is going to be in the roughest areas etc.

Been reading up on the forums almost daily over the last few months, as I am looking to get a house hack 2-4 unit before the end of the year.Unless I missed something completely from the calculator, what I read in the forums, and what I have seen/heard in the podcasts and webinars, I believe that the expense percentage comes in from total rent, and not a percentage off of the leftover money when PIMI is taken away.

People are pouring thousands and thousands of marketing dollars into Manchester area daily in hopes of attracting off-market distressed properties and most of that is for single-family; meanwhile Brokers are giving pocket-listings to the experienced guys. 

Please understand that I searched daily for 90 days for a property that would cashflow on MLS. 

Major tip: make sure to set daily limits on all your campaigns as they can get quite expensive.Twitter ads held my least successful campaigns, Linkedin is more for professionals looking to network/find jobs/create leads.

Unsure if you lump it all together, but make sure you account for daily repairs for small items as well as capex for larger items such as roof, HVAC, etc. 

It wasn't the amount because I've dealt with numbers like that on the daily but something about the letter itself.
