Others have posted that their underwriting criteria is so strict and fees so high that its very tough to get a loan that will work and these folks just give up and end up with 3k worth of educational material and NO 100% loan.the reality is right now its never been easier to get a HML  80 to 90% financing and 100% of renovations..

., Given we are accountants, we cannot promote our services on BP as its against the rules.To help in your search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

It also had areas of high crime and it has bad rental politics.

Propstream allows you to pull niche lists of homeowners that are tax delinquent, failed listings, high equity, or even in preforeclosure.

Personally we don't do anything more than 50% leverage and right now we are right around 20% leveraged on our entire $4mm portfolio.i don't understand how people do all these 0,10-20% leverage deals and max out with little to no cash flow but have "100 doors" we have 20 doors but they are all high quality homes.Was an intensive grind and a lot of cash but I wouldn't trade our journey for anything -14 years later were at 20% leverage on our portfolio and dropping rapidly every month

And when you find one, you have to worry about them declaring BK, which seems like has a high percentage of happening.  

Just do your homework and call around.The legal and ethical requirements in selling your own property (whether you are listing it or not) are extremely heightened and everyone will hold you to an incredibly high level; that goes for flips or rentals.

I would just try to stay away from some of high crime areas, as I think you would struggle to get a solid local team excited about working in those areas.

@Joshua LoganI highly recommend attending local meetups.

Since it's a rental unit for the future after you move, you don't want to go too high end to please yourself and not get the value out of it on the other end when you leave.
