I've done this before, and I'm sure it will depend on how the four of you individually hold Title.Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. 

Apparently they assist walking you through finding deals, financing them/obtaining business credit, and closing the deal...I copied this post someone posted about a year ago because I was researching the samething.

I have family that has multiple rentals that I will use for information and assistance.

If you are buying at sheriff's sale you should have an existing relationship with a title company that can do quick searches on potential buys to assist you in advance of getting in too deep with tax liens you didn't know about.

However, I do not have a lot of time after coming home from work and was considering using a virtual assistant to write finance blogs for my agent website to drive up my SEO and Google search engine results/ and or to create graphics for my Instagram while I was at my day job.

They know some of the best and have dealt with enough situations to know who will be able to assist you in your current situation. 

I'm only able to look at 1-2 unit properties but the high mortgage insurance makes it undesirable when compared to other loan products.  5% downpayment allows for me to eliminate mortgage insurance after 11 years but I think I'll only be in the property for 2-4 years.Fannie Mae - They seem to have a lot of products including a down payment assistance with zero interest. 

You definitely can and I did for my house hacks... a step further, I also used down-payment assistance programs that were available the first time for first time home buyers that covered the 3.5% down-payment. 

Originally posted by @Bob Lett:@John Underwood interesting viewpoint as there are Ebs and flows in the market and that’s why capx and having reserves is important for situations like this.If it were to happen I would have a discussion with the tenant how they would lose their government assistance if they don't pay their portion of the rent.Also there are people on the section 8 waiting list so I would next file an eviction.

Just because it looks like a cheap deal, the numbers look good on paper...do your research and make sure it's a solid market with a diverse economy with potential.
