Naturally, I can't tell if the results still hold true as I am sure a lot of banks and lenders have changed their rules.

When he or she continues in possession, in person or by subtenant, of the property, or any part thereof, after the expiration of the term for which it is let to him or her; provided the expiration is of a nondefault nature however brought about without the permission of his or her landlord, or the successor in estate of his or her landlord, if applicable; including the case where the person to be removed became the occupant of the premises as a servant, employee, agent, or licensee and the relation of master and servant, or employer and employee, or principal and agent, or licensor and licensee, has been lawfully terminated or the time fixed for occupancy by the agreement between the parties has expired; but nothing in this subdivision shall be construed as preventing the removal of the occupant in any other lawful manner; but in case of a tenancy at will, it must first be terminated by notice, as prescribed in the Civil Code.5.  

I just had my roofer look at a rental I just bought hoping he'd just give me a green light (I trust him), and he found a few hundred dollars of things to tidy up including some siding falling off.It's not a "bad" deal.

If you want I can put more lights outside or provide lawn furniture for you to relax.

Depending on your market, that multi-unit property may not be available in 4-6 months when we get the green light on the economy.

It'll take time for either sellers to see the light and compress the bid/ask spread, or for buyers (or at least this buyer) to have the confidence in the near term performance to underwrite to more optimistic assumptions. 

Hi Robert,I like STNL personally because of the passive nature of it.

I’ve given each option some thought and each have there pros and cons, I wondered if somebody with more investment experience could shed some light on the situation. 

I have the money saved to make the higher down payment on the little cottage but it's close to all of what I had set aside to purchase and light reno so it would be tight.

Naturally with my age, non consistent income, and just now growing my credit, the local banks laugh at the idea of me buying a home soon, but I believe with my current mentors and available private money lending, acquiring my first property won’t be the problem.My question and needed help is on whether it would be smarter to flip a house first to seek cash profit to invest in the next deal or go through with the BRRR process?
