For single family I would look in Bergen County zoned for good schools, something that needs work and you can force appreciation through reno or addition.

I'm hoping to have an open discussion about the exclusivity practice by agents, specifically for investors.

In the event of a slight downturn it would be safe to build additional vacancy losses or rent reductions into your pro-forma so that your property still cash flows well. 2.

From what I've learned when you cash-out your equity like this, you are going to pay an additional 1% over the normal rates.

I'm trying to get one of these Finance right now and it seems like the lenders are asking for an additional 10% down because it's multifamily is that your experience as well

Also, note that that is in addition to the $450-$550 per unit in repair and maintenance each year. 

Additionally, the property itself won't put stress on you as long as it is continually producing positive cash flow.

If the property with the squatter was a good deal why not buy it as-is with squatter (and an additional discount 🙂) and then get him out?

This lot will support 2,800 buildable square feet so we are looking a building a main house then an ADU (Additional Dwelling Unit).
