You have to do the leg work.

The closer you get to the 1% rule means you'll be buying an old, fixer upper, in the worst parts of town.The other real trick is finding 4plex. 

It is normal for a dog, in their own backyard, to be bark and go running to the part of a fence that has a person on the other side of it, and often get on their hind legs with their front paws on the fence.

Terms on primary resident transactions are in the upper 6% to low 7% range. 

A fixer-upper can be a good deal but budget carefully.

They're essentially paying the wholesaler for doing the leg work to find the deal.

But, most  municipalities will settle these for 5-10% from someone who comes in and fixes the underlying issue.Some research and leg work may lead to this being a non issue (insurance company pays the claim/contractor) or maybe not…but worth putting some work into it.

I say this to say my contractor, who we know and love, is interested in renting the basement in exchange for upgrading the basement that way I can rent the basement and upper level to get more cash flow.

I provide the free and clear education, upper-middle environment and great upbringing.

New construction for example goes for $530 a square foot in upper Arlington which is an old money neighborhood here, but to get that land you had to pay $300 per square foot for it. so you are actually getting $230 per square foot.
