Use online resources, public records, satellite imagery, and neighborhood data to assess the property's potential.

I'd like to expand this concept to the processing of seeing through any value-add scenarios and opportunities in a deal.  

So, absent new information, there is little known opportunity for treasury or mortgage rates to decline (it's already baked into long term rates) and only risk that rates will increase if expectations are wrong. 

Here are a few creative ways to round up that down payment you might consider:Team Up: How about finding a partner who's as excited about this opportunity as you are?

I am interested to learn more about this opportunity and invest But I am located far (Canada)Can somebody share contact of person/company who might be able to assist with this ?

House Hacking via VA loan and 2nd home are on the table, but I am not limiting to that.3-year goal:-Look towards multi-family property or opportunities to build ADUs.

Paying off a property feels great but I will likely never be able to borrow at that rate again, so I have some opportunity cost and my money is now stuck in the property.

@Amy Konopka  sounds like a decent opportunity.

Tons of opportunities here, and a wealth of information to help you.Biggest thing is networking and education.

Example:  Listing on line within 2 days, a professional sign within a week (the kind you dig holes in the ground for), an updated list of contacts they have reached out to.
