Birds of a feather flock together!

You kill two birds with one stone by giving yourself a roof over your head and an investment property at the same time. 

@Chase Cline Good question. 

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

House hacking is a great way to get your foot into homeownership AND investments. two birds, one stone!

No need to chase future yields when you get 12% out of the gate!

I think your best bet would be to go through your rolodex and ask them what they are looking for (asset type, specific returns, timeline, etc) and become a bird dog/wholesaler where you would sell the deals you find.

Chase and Amex actually have strong programs, but it depends on what you want/need. 

@Chase CaudillDid you have a mortgage contingency?

3) Chasing contractors to actually stick to timelines/deadlines and get work done to keep tenants happy?
