@Agustin SilveyraI personally flip in the C and B class neighborhoods.

Dealing with private syndication is like dealing with individual actor that many times has different personality, nuances and lack of public/transparency skillset.

I personally never want to own a property where I know I will get a fight. 

Also, while you might get some tourists who want tranquility, you will most likely miss all the digital nomads and remote workers, who want to be where the action is.On a more personal note, I think that place is boring.

Have lawn person to do it.

I understand that I should have a separate bank account from my personal checking/savings, but based on my research, this first deal won't necessarily provide cashflow with me living in one of the units (it will when I move out).

I regularly argue that Dave Ramsey provides excellent, sound, time-proven financial advice that everyone should apply to their personal finances.

We're great at finding deceased owners, and working with the Heirs to name a Personal Rep, and ultimately buying their property. 

Fortunately with the rent/mortgage ratio we would be fine either way due to the low rate, but certainly something to keep in mind if different lenders have different standards. 

For me personally, I've been in the niche since 2007.
