I hope to purchase a 2-4 unit property / house-hack, and it would be great to get some local market expertise!

Of course, my models always assumed that is the case but I'm not sure if you meant that you think property taxes and insurance costs will be higher if I have multiple tenants rather than one?

Use a Promissory Note and Mortgage or Deed of TrustIf you’re familiar with traditional mortgages, this model will sound familiar.

I didn’t want to hand hold other agents, but I did want to have the ability to make money off of others work like I did with the KW model.

Plus, I'd be managing the property and they'd be pretty much a silent partner, so there would be an imbalance in the amount of work there.What attracts me to the idea of a JV is that it's a way for me to basically trade my expertise and my work for equity.

That's why I'm thinking the SFH model won't quite get me to where I want to go.

Its not about investors buying with cash, reno, this quick refi because they are trying to use the brrrr model or something.As its been said many times, conforming loans aren't designed for investors.I keep hearing/reading how investors aren't loyal to a lender (or real estate agent for that matter) or maybe loyal to a mortgage broker..

I don't see the Japanese economic model (stagflation) as an equivalent to the USA for many reasons.

Every waterfall model I've ever done has used IRR targets as hurdle rates.
