for example $500 off first months rent, lower security deposit, free flat screen tv?

These loans typically have lower interest rates than other types of financing which is still saying something currently given that you can get a 6.5-7% conventional loan vs. an 9.5-14% loan using a DSCR or HML.

I personally think the government is incentivized to lower rates in the future to keep their debt payments down. 

I have been reading a lot of Robert Kiyosaki books and this seems to be his business model and sounds like I could keep my taxes lower by doing so.

@Patrick Flanagan@Dave Foster is our resident expert...But yet, you need to buy something "as much as you sold" and "with at least as much of the cash proceeds" from your transaction. 

You can do some of these lower-valued deals as a portfolio, but other than that, credit union/bank financing may be the way to go. 

Interested to hear your thoughts on evaluation methods and the future of multifamily transactions in this current environment.

In order for me to move back, you would have to a) lower the COL so that I could really make money, and b) turn the state Red again.....both of which are unlikely, but I appreciate the offer!

I've been here for a while reading up and am excited to make my first post.A bit about me, I am 30 currently making a great salary in a W2 contract role that I will likely remain at through this year, after which I expect to look for a more permanent role with a lower base salary, however likely similar overall once benefits are accounted for.

Is it worth it to take a lower return and hope to refinance later?
