These days, you need to be willing to do conversions, single family to duplex / multiplex or renovations to up rents to make these properties cash flow.

hi tyler, I actually started in the business by  learning hands-on all about  single family home investments  and self storage investments.

They aren't super pretty (ARMs with rates well north of 4%... still way lower than HML), and obviously your plan can/should be to refinance into fannie/freddie money the second you're in a position to check the necessary boxes. 

My goal is to buy a single-family home in the near future and rent it out.After debating between a few cities, I think I have settled on Jacksonville.

On the other hand, I've never budgeted or paid for advertising as part of a single property, so maybe that's all a wash. 

We have a large portfolio of single family rentals in the Metro Detroit area, so always looking to network new opportunities.

I'd like to invest in codos, single homes, studios and two family homes.  

It super educational and you'll get a great introduction to what BiggerPockets has to offer.Check out the "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing".

Here's the facts:I plan to cash out-refi or pull a HELOC out of a single family I own free and clear and use some of my own cash to buy the property, rehab and rent the property.

I am going to look at 3 houses this week, 2 of them being single family houses owned by the bank and 1 of them FSBO.
