The main house is divided into two.

One of the main advantages I see would be that I could have say 4 properties if I could find 75% financing and achieve a higher return (I am looking a long term wealth compared to current cash flow) AND I would have quadruple the appreciation.From a legal perspective, I will let others chime in.

I plan to purchase a small multi-family in southern Maine and to live in one of the units.

My Dad and Grandpa are mainly responsible for my interest.

but rising inventory would create more supply of houses for buyers to choose from and for guys like me(flippers) that would force us to either make our houses the best on the block or lower our prices (probably both).

I am looking around the North Houston/ Conroe Area mainly, but I've recently started to look a little further.ANY advice that any of you have, it would be greatly appreciated.

The main question I have is about searching public records before getting too invested in a property such as a Foreclosure.

The housing supply/inventory has been between 30 days to 2.5 months for the past 18 months or so.

End-game possibilities to (a) put on the market to sell after 4 months refurb – could be worth $575K ARV and if sold quickly yield me a 30%+ cash on cash return, or (b) if soft buyer’s market then put out to rent, with projected 9% cap rate.My main questions:If I put in 90% of equity, what % of profits would be competitive?

Demand is high and supply is maxed out (they can't build any more houses in the area because there is no more land to build on).
