I have a 9 bedroom house, 6 bath with a pool and hot tub. 

These options vary state by state.For fix and flip loans, lenders generally want the combination of the purchase price and the rehab budget to be over $100K while also factoring in a 10-20% down payment from the buyer. 

I’ve got an opportunity to buy a rental house potentially for zero down, but I’m not sure if this is a good deal or not.

Mainly, a couple houses are in "challenging" areas with suck tenants.

I learned SO much reading and editing BiggerPockets contributors that I turned around and did a bunch of my own deals — a flip, 2 house hacks, 2 short-term rentals, and one long term.

But typically the seller can't afford or just doesn't want the house anymore and they're ready to walk way but they don't want their credit ruined by a foreclosure.

In order to increase cash flow, you might suggest a shorter purchase price or a longer-term financing plan because the house is ready to move into and doesn't require any modifications.

I do flips to multi-unit holds - picking up a nice creative finance deal in Wasilla shortly that I'll STR and a multi-unit in Chugiak.

I want my property to appreciate so I can take the equity in a few years and use it to buy another house.

I made the mistake of renting my single-family house in Alpharetta to a tenant with a credit score in the 500s in December 2023.
