Quote from @Tyler Herman: Who is a hard money lender doing fix and rent and DSCR loans sub $100k? 

I done some research on creative finance deals and have noticed a lot of beginner investors have had a lot of success with creative financing deals.

This allows me to get into a great property and leave the bank out. 

Network and try to find a mentor in these groups or wherever you can to help guide you through this industry as an investor.

@Courtney HamiltonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Quote from @Daniele Evans: Five years later it's just as bad. 

Financially, the numbers make sense, but I need to have a proper inspection since this is my first home (and I'm going unrepresented) and the house is built in 1915 with some renovations that were clearly done by the investor selling the property rather than a professional.Question: Although  previous owner has owned the property for 3 years and rented to tenants previously, should I be concerned that the legal zoning is only for SFH?

Lets say I close on a house in April 30 and am charged the local taxes on the closing statement from Jan to April.
