Thanks Bryan, I'm using them currently and facing similar issues.

You want a desirable location plus with minimal sloping/grading issues and minimal trees.

Bryce Muller posted a link to a site he made that addresses some of those issues at https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/921/topics/1174578-migr...

I'm having the same issue as you.

As a Texan I had to learn about things like Rampart fireplaces and earthquakes, and you'll learn more about our foundation issues and the primary bedroom preference downstairs here.

If you can get 10%, thats really nice for 30yr, but you might want your liquidity back sooner or not take a chance on your borrower for that long.The reason to go "creative" is if you have an actual issue.  

Now, an already occupied property might sound good for quick cash flow, but there's a catch – you haven't screened the tenant, opening the door to potential issues.

I saw this thread and laughed aloud as I had this very same issue.

They typically have a past due balance from a mortgage that has not been paid for several months or other issues that take money to clean up. 

I've heard that the few that have had theirs so far are failing for easily correctable issues.
