Try to get into some real estate investor meet ups and networking events and ask people about generating lists for direct mailing distressed properties and marketing yourself to motivated sellers.

How to generate leads, approach lenders, etc.

Lastly, underwriter for a local bank will be local, and not some random lady in Ohio, who could care less about this RI file.

If you want to randomly write that your Operating Expenses are "Cost of Goods", you would be wrong and falsifying data.

I have been very interested in the idea of house hacking because it is a great way to save money in rent, generate some cashflow, pay-down the home using tenant dollars and potentially home appreciation. 

(And yes, I know how to generate motivated sellers).Very active in the English CIIQ (Club d'investisseurs immobilier Quebec).Now it's your turn: Who are you?

If it does turn to more of a buyers' market then all the better for the leads that should be generated I would assume.

Since tenants ARE our business customers that rely on the property(s) condition and that it is imperative for landlords to keep their properties in rentable and updated conditions in order to get tenants and keep tenants in order to generate rent, this restriction would make zero sense.  

There was a post about a year ago maybe a little more were an LA W 2 who had a nice run up in their values pulled like 150 to 200k in a second on their personal home and then used that money to buy ( what he admitted to) D class in Memphis that on paper was going to generate a nice positive cash flow He also borrowed on those properties I think it was 8 of them  so 100% leveraged on D class.. not that D class is any worse in Memphis than any other location It just stuck in my mind.. 

It's a great time to generate leads... to follow up on when this s-storm is over.
