Plus, there's still so many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here in Columbus Ohio.

I usually just eat one solid meal a day and the rest I take in through liquid nutrition throughout the day (about every hour and a half, it's taken a longgg time to get this to be a habit).

I have a few off market that could be a good fit/that could cash flow. 

I have seen it extended with an LOE - letter of explanation as well.Make sure that you have all of the information on the renters like contact info, length of time renting units, pets, and on the walk through make sure the units are well kept if you plan on keeping renters.

Is it better to stick with banks go through 3rd party ?

You should be able to take into consideration if the property makes sense as a rental when you move out, will it cash flow then after a few years, or will part of your strategy be to fix up your side while you live there and then either move into the other side at some point to fix it up or to just sell when you’re ready to move to a different location if it doesn’t cash flow at that point.

While they seemed nice enough during the walk throughs, I could sense that they were not going to be particularly happy to have a new landlord coming into the picture and kicking one of them out.  

May none of us have to go through that but if we do, good neighbors (and good insurance) always help.

Due to interest rates and overall market conditions, sourcing SHF or small multifamily LTRs that cash flow is still challenging unless you're putting down a significant amount or finding deals off-market.Nevertheless, my team and I still have an extensive network of investors focusing on SFH deals and small multifamily acquisitions. 

Hey I am currently going through this process and I can give you some pointers on assessing the future value of the build.
