With inventory expanding, it feels like there could be opportunities to secure deals, especially if the right cash flow potential is there. 

By emphasizing your qualifications as the basis for your decision, you steer clear of potential issues related to discrimination.

And there are still deals here that cashflow and have appreciation potential at affordable price points. 

I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

There's a lot of timing to consider, and honestly, this potential first cost segregation will be a learning experience for us. 

If you’re feeling uneasy about the potential headaches, you might consider a local property manager who specializes in room rentals or shared housing.

But if you're able to figure it out and get it built, you can rent out the units and essentially BRRRR it and pull some/all of your equity out to repay your debts, yourself, and potentially keep the investment cycle going. 

Happy you joined the party.. how soon do you plan to start crunching numbers on a potential deal?

Aims for a balance between cash flow and potential appreciation.
