Your advice so far definitely has me on every real estate site and google working hard to figure out how to best go about this.

thank you, Roman, i will definitely check him out!

...but it can definitely give you some clues.  

I'd definitely add a refrigerator and some appliances to that floor: toaster and microwave to make it more accommodating.

If our property had gone down 2-3% in the last year, we'd really be in no less of a worse spot since we were banking 100% on cash-flow.There definitely are places that fit what you're after - but the secret seems to be out and they're harder and harder to find.

You definitely are paying a premium for the convenience and using their platform. 

@Scott Hollister I was introduced to the FHA 203K loan in one of the books that I've been reading and it is definitely something that has grabbed my attention.

I definitely think that if cash flow is there (have a good pro-forma) then you are better off using the cheap money for a much higher return. forget SFR's, especially in your market lol.

@Jim Goebel I agree, it definitely takes away from the privacies of the consumers.

Also, I would consider what the goal is in the end, making arrangement for a flip is definitely different than buying and holding a property for rental income.
