There are about 3000 pens floating around the Midwest.Craigslist and my side job account for 75% of my first time rentals. 

I’m in the process of switching several of my buildings over to individually metered propane heaters so the tenants will become responsible for their own heat costs and more accountable in their waste of resources.

And obviously, it rarely cash flows unless you can find property with an existing source of income that can be added to (a savvy strategy actually). 

We want To owner occupy a multi family property so having her income too will really help to qualify. 

My income is such that I have a significant tax burden when I bring in investment income.

I just created a free account to check on one and you still don't get any info until you upgrade to "premium." 

Unless maybe because he has those funds in his business account it’s considered an asset on his PFS until he has to pay it back? 

I think it’s in “coming soon” phase.  

Definitely go with quality properties vs. quantity.If you buy the low income properties, you will attract low income people at tenants. 

Foundation and roof work are very expensive.It sounds like a good house hack based on pricing and rents, but make sure you check crime and median income to justify rents.Exciting!
