I have three furnished rentals in very desirable neighborhoods @Daniel Crenshaw I am very thankful that each of these furnished rentals are in a building with another unit, with regular tenants. 

@Melissa WilliamsonWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

The most important thing is networking, Bigger Pockets is great and there are a bunch of groups on Facebook I could recommend but, you need a local accountability and an REI meeting would be the best place to find good people and find someone to help find the information you need and someone(s) to be accountable to.

What it allows for is a No PMI loan with zero out of pocket for a owner occupied home up to a 4 unit multi family.  

The project has been going well.A couple months after closing on the 15 unit, the broker brought us a pocket listing that he had just come across.

And, of course, discuss it here in Bigger Pockets. 

Hey Bigger Pockets Members,I am in Florida and today I meet someone who is motivated to sell their home.

Last but not least in the "why DSM" bucket you have your traditional three motivators: low cost of living/affordable housing, access to well-paying jobs, relatively safe neighborhoods, and decent schools (I recognize, that is technically four and a half but I am rolling with it).

They will ask you about all three of those things.

@William Harnden Welcome to Bigger Pockets!
