Agents, tell me why this is a bad idea.

No one should be treated badly. 

Another lesson I’ve learned is that buying a single family home as my primary residence to later lease to a tenant is a bad strategy unless I’m purchasing the property at a really low price.

As a beginner you are green enough that you need to temper your enthusiasm to make sure you don’t bite at bad deals.  

I would just treat it like a normal deal if the numbers make sense.

It's winter, hard to find tenants. the last thing we want is bad tenants who don't pay, though, so while it is listed a bit lower than market it is not a screaming bargain.

Hi all,I'm new to investing and saw a 4-unit property this week.   I like it and the numbers look decent.Pro Forma is 7.21% and CoC ROI is 10.04%.However one of the tenants is late for rent ($1,000 in late fees this y...

In some states it's better to write a full mortgage because the foreclosure timeline is short or because the municipality will not treat the buyer as having equitable title otherwise.

He is a younger guy and didn't have bad credit or any evictions that he needed to explain away.  

You can only play games for so long.Chances are your next door neighbor is an IRS agent and turns you in when your tenants blocks their drive or some other random event disturbing your IRS neighbor.ADU catches fire and your insurance won't cover you, because it was an illegal and unpermitted structure.The city inspector told the last guy not to build or rent it, and is now pissed and wants to make an example of you and just red tags the whole property and no one can occupy for the next 1-2-3 years while you wait for a hearing.Then when you get the hearing, "staff" recommends you tear the whole structure down, and if you still want an ADU, you can apply for a permit and rebuild it.Your tenant quits paying rent and won't move out and you can't evict them, because there is no valid lease and they're just your "roommate".Probably a dozen other bad things can happen to you when you do stuff like this.
