Your best bet is to find comparable rentals and submit them to HUD in the hopes that they may increase their offer.

My wife works in healthcare and regularly hires traveling Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists and their assistants as part of her job.

It's not as easy as it looks on HGTV and you probably have friends who are doing it, I would bet they are either doing it full time or they are not enjoying the ROI and quality of life you would like to have.

If you are willing to be honest and transparent and competent with the budget, you should not have any issues.Truly your best bet is to find a deal and post the specific numbers and what you are looking for...or take the deal to a local REI meeting and pitch it.

If you can, 15% down on a conventional loan would be the safest bet on a 4 unit. 

, Im not a huge fan of wholesaling and I would bet many realitors here would agree, but I do understand it can be a good way to start out getting initial principal for ones own investments-see so many questions, yes.

Probably a solid bet given that the elections will be occuring in 2024.

Everything worked fine and payments are on Zillow.I now know that providing a physical contact address is a requirement. 

@Frederick William if you like the idea of multi-family as an avenue to help you reach your financial goals, but don't have the necessary experience to underwrite, acquire, and operate an apartment complex I would leverage what you already have.It sounds to me like your best bet would be to find someone who's already buying apartment complexes and find ways to help them in exchange for getting experience and connections that can help you do your own deals in the future.The most straightforward way to accomplish this is to partner up with a deal sponsor as a limited partner.

." --- What is holding you back, I can already tell you that buy and hold is probably the best bet for you (I can already tell you don't want another job flipping, short-term rentals, old-school landlord, etc.), but why haven't you figured this out on your own yet?
