Not that I recall, I say.The conversation moves on and suddenly she snaps her fingers and says "OMG, you were on the podcast"So, apparently I need some new stories.

And my credit is terrible due to some bad times where I had lost my job suddenly, so right now I'm in credit rehab mode (or at least not making it worse since I have a new job and things are back on track).Mortgage balance is about 130K.

The only other grace that FHA gives you is if you receive the loan then suddenly get a job far enough away so that you can live on the property.

Also there suddenly were a ton of people starting to invest, so it became very competitive in the small multi-family market. 

Also, if I were a tenant in a building where I had to pass a rigorous screening, with the peace of mind knowing that all my neighbors did too, and suddenly the rules were changed and my neighbor ended up being a convicted felon of a violent crime, I would be up in arms.  

You get the idea.So... as much as I agree the original post here comes off as whiny maybe, we can't just all the sudden change the meaning of hack to a clever shortcut.

@Tyler Jahnke I agree with Chris that a partial may be a good choice for you but make sure you keep enough in reserve to cover any vacant and/or sudden repairs that come up.

Having been to many of their events and knowing how this works from the back offices and so on and so forth.what I  see  is just like any other slice of life.. some get it will do good.. others no chance they don't have the personality they don't have the drive and commitment.And or they think by reading BP or paying for a mentor is all they need to all of a sudden be a real estate rock star.and at the end of the day.. most gravitate to what you see here on BP  they realize this is a uber tough business with a lot of rejection.. and they will do what it takes to buy rentals. that's why this is predominantly a landlord site.. its the easiest to understand and the easiest to implement.. not that everyone who gets into land lording is successful because many fail at it ..

I had to move suddenly for a job and have been renting out that property in Philly.

All my analyzed deals getting $200 per month, and 1.2 suddenly vanished.
