( commercial property is  >  4 unit or a business  type property ) .....if you are trying to buy a rental home ...with that  income / debt / credit profile  and a  large enought down payment - it appears qualifying should be OK

One of my tenants that I've had for several years is interested in purchasing the home that he's currently living in (he's rented two different homes from me).

How do others set up management and maintenance to scale up to 10, 20, 30+ units without using a full service property management company and still having a full time job and not taking away from family at home?

I wanted to know if it would be wise to buy a reasonably priced home and do house hacking.

From my understanding if 75% of rents cashflow over PITI it actually improves you DTI for approval is this correct assuming have 2 years landlord experience?

Hello BP members, I live in a SFH close to Sugar Land area in Houston TX, and I'm looking to rent two rooms out of a single family home I currently reside in.

Hi there, I recently came across a foreclosure home which had $283K in the mortgage and is set for a foreclosure.

If you have two homes, you have two sewer and water laterals and two electrical pulls to two different locations.
