Hi @Brendan Seals, It's very difficult to predict how tenants will act, but doing your due diligence and asking for references goes a long way and reduces the risk of having an unpleasant experience with a future tenant.

If you finance the solar, it can actually be difficult to sell the home because the buyer may not want to take over the payment plan. 

@Yumiko A. you mentioned you only have funds for a "down payment," this is going to make it more difficult as it's much, much tougher to try to use conventional financing.

Will finding a deal be more difficult every year for new investors?

Refi LTV is usually 75%.I have been doing BRRRR's for over a decade in Milwaukee and it has gotten very difficult in the last years to recycle cash; I left a substantial amount of money in every single project over the last 2 years.

It is difficult to estimate the repairs even before buying the property but you get better with experience and you can hire a contractor to help you in the beginning or get help from other investors.How did the 70% rule work for us in Sudbury:70% x $850,000 - $250,000 = $345,000 MAO (Maximum Allowable offer)Since the seller was asking for $325,000 we submitted an offer for that amount and got it accepted.Tip 1: Agents are a great source of deals for properties that need work.

It can be difficult to equate 50/50 value so you would need to find someone who complements your skills and lack there of, or someone who can contribute skills, time, money, or knowledge into the deals.

@Brandon GamblinHi,Fix and Flip properties are more difficult to finance due to the condition of the properties.

If you really want to do this business without money, its doable but VERY VERY VERY difficult. 

I spoke with a traditional lender the other day from Total Mortgage who said it would be difficult for me to get any kind of financing outside of a traditional 20-25% down investment loan, because I don't have a credible reason to be buying another multi-family outside of investing purposes.What is the simplest way to make a second purchase utilizing the 203k loan program without running into issues in underwriting?
