@Jordan Feiner the information that @Scott Mac provided is dead on with what you should do otherwise if you're just sending out mailers it will come across as a wholesaler or agent.If you have specific homes in mind the best option is to go over and introduce yourself to the owners and if the homes are actually dream homes then there should not be as much of a price restriction compared to a standard investment purchase.Also, your Realtor should be able to assist in this process as they can do some of the door knocking on your behalf and can target certain homes in the market.

**Just a friendly life hack: If you charge you phone in your car, rather than in your home, you will save on average $50-$100 depending on how many devices you own and have at your home.

@Jonathan DiBenedetto By far, the best pricing and terms available in this space is Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac small balance multi- financing.

I think you'll agree after studying the matter more carefully that your 401(k) is just a Wall Street device to steal money out of your pocket.I would actually stick with the rent. $500/month is very nice for the area.

I want to refinance with a Freddie Mac small balance loan at around $1M.

The loan, while being serviced by the local bank is likely owned by Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and is carved up into multiple mortgage bonds

They are doing a renovation loan like the FHA 203k, or the Fannie Mae Homestyle, or the Freddie Mac ChoiceRenovation. 

It's the EXACT same situation once that tenant moves in, and there's nothing the bank can do, since AFAIK they don't get a say on who I accept as a tenant after I purchase the building.Ok, with that out of the way, I'd love to hear some insights on where to get a loan for this kind of situation (Freddie Mac lenders?

There's also a variety of cleaners and power devices to clean tile and grout.

If you are managing a property remotely, and you want to have someone install a smart device for you, what are the logistics around that?
