Thanks for contributing to this discussion.

I started house-hacking with my boyfriend (now husband) as it was my condo and I made him pay way more of the mortgage since he didn't contribute to the down payment. 

I would think this trend is contributing to rents staying flat as it's harder to increase rents dramatically on renewals than with turnovers.

The question is how the funds that they contribute can be shown as seasoned funds. 

Foreign investors are still bidding on U.S. properties, which is helping to drive up the price on multifamily properties, as well as contribute to overbidding.

I tend to look for stuff like a formal living room or dining room that can be made into a bedroom or contribute to a JADU for really high forced appreciation relative to expenditure.I don't know your situation but we could not afford a single family home in LA but we could afford two.

That is impressive.I don't have much more to contribute other than the godfather Frank himself and Reid have mentioned. 

And if you want a deal where you can contribute to the rehab, you will have to have a contractor that will work with you in that regard.

I am guessing this is not a distressed asset, but as you move lower in the quality spectrum, your cap rate is less and less meaningful.

I used funds from a number of different sources; TSP loan, Roth Contributions, and from our HELOC; to pay "cash" for the property.
