However, there are much better deals to be had they just don't come up often and they move really quick, I've had to offer the first day to have any chance of getting them.An example I'm about to close on is a 3-2 MLS deal, asking price $90k that will easily rent for $1,200. 

@Aaron CayabyabHi Aaron, as others have said many agents and lenders aren't fully aware that FHA does 2 - 4 unit properties, and in turn they'll often shy away from working with someone who's looking to do that.

@Benjamin Haberman, coincidentally, a PM will cost about the same as if you kept giving one of ten tenants free rent in order to perform all the required duties.

The 7 day period now often results in our tenants preferring to pay via Venmo.

It's refreshing to hear a more conservative approach to real estate investing than is often addressed.

I’m not a huge fan of open houses, most often you’ll just get neighbors and those who are browsing.

When you do down payment requirements are only 3.5-5% allowing you to purchase quicker and often as you repeat the cycle. 21k should be ample depending on your avg price point and your objectives.

I still go home pretty often, but I currently reside in Maryland, about 20 mins from D.C.

They just don't happen that often when documentation is tight and a good QI with standing is used.
