This is possible, but it is the rare exception rather than the rule.

Im not sure about the MLS rules where you are, but the assistant access for my mls is for assistants that are actually employed by the agent.

I would have thought there'd be some kind of rule preventing that.

I've got nasty toilets for days.What are the rules here? 

Good luck to get your money back.If you do this out of your 401k - it becomes twice more difficult, because you also have to watch for the IRS rules that prohibit you from directly participating in the projects owned by your retirement plan.If you think I'm imagining doom and gloom - unfortunately no.

@Bj Ayoleke  A decent rule of thumb is take 20% of the purchase price + rehab. 

Investors harp on numbers and create rules, etc. etc....you see huge forums and social platforms like BP, but they are all based on the wrong thing.

They seem to forget what the rules are and when rent is due (even though they have a written lease agreement to refer to).

See my blog on The Tenant PhaseTo be a successful landlord, and maintain that excitement that you had when you first began, before you knew the ropes, you have to have all this in place, and you MUST AT ALL TIMES STICK TO THE RULES OF YOUR CONTRACT, YOUR LEASE AGREEMENT.

As you can see, in our market appreciation on detached and attached seems to be more in sync... in fact we've seen more appreciation in attached properties lately in Fort Collins, CO.Similar numbers for another city near us, Loveland, CO:And finally, here's Greeley, CO:It may not matter with what you're trying to do, but perhaps, someone with actual data in your market can verify that assumption before you invest based on that premise.I'd also be curious if our market is the exception to that rule or if our market is normal in this regard.
