You may need to put more down to cash flow....maybe 25%.Also rents have lagged sales price increases, but look to catch up quickly....rents in DFW are up around 14% this year, so if we get a couple of years of those kinds of increases, you'll be sitting well in a year or two or three.

My wife and I purchased our first property (a C-class fourplex) in 2017 which we house-hacked for three and a half years. 

A busboy named Da'Shawn got blown away in the back alley trudging home from work two years ago (the makeshift memorial really brightens up the block) and the convenience store down the main drag did have that drive-by three years ago...the clerk (who I know) heard the shots, then a guy stumbled in covered in blood.and screaming, "Dey shot mah baby!"

I told him to borrow one of the other THREE from one of the other guys or buy one, and that they were left behind as a courtesy.Babes in the woods.But that did confirm my decision to replace the toilets when I refresh the bathroom, because his response when the toilet clogged was to flush it twice more until it "nearly overflowed" and he said that he's scared to do it again in case it does overflow. 

Do you live in any of the three, and if so which one?

You can put 5% or less down, occupy one of the apartments and rent the other three out.

Fortunately, with all of the updates we made to the front unit, we found ourselves in a different position and in about one week received word from three lending institutions that we qualified for funding.

Is it worth putting together a binder/report that shows pictures of what I want with the color, style and brand?

Why would this happen not only once but three times?

The last time I had to have a three way call, at Closing, with the Title Company, the Utility Department Director and me to explain the Release letter that I was presenting at Closing in order to Sell my property.
