Is the FHA/Low Down Payment type product still the way to go?

To give an idea of the market here are some examples of recently sold and active coastal vacation rentals and their current and projected production: - Oceanview 4/3 SFR. 

Thank you so much guys.Best,Jake This is the triple that we build it's a high density product, stacked on top, 656 sq ft 2 bedroom floorplan and in most markets where we build it we can get at least $2.40 / sq ft lease price which is pretty good return.

If you decide to just learn on your own one way that is not high risk is by doing the house  hacking strategy where you buy a single family or multi family unit and live in the property while renting the other units or rooms.

For example in city of San Diego you can designats a few units as affordable units and build 15 units in a single family zoned area.  

We are very picky with tenants and we can be, because we offer a premium product and will usually find a tenant to match.

According the the founder of TechVestor, they find that larger 4-7 bedrooms perform better when it comes to a standard single family. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/taylor-jones-38997154_average...

I couldn't touch Toledo and couldn't build houses and I'd love to see the value add strategy. our worst areas in columbus I can build 700-800 sq ft house for 100k, 20k for land and taps, resale 200k and I can do that over and over and sell it as a rental or as a single family home.

An LLC wholly owned by a single person is disregarded for federal tax purposes, so as far as the IRS is concerned you took an asset out of one pocket and put it into your other pocket.

All your income MUST be deposited into one single bank account.
