I'm not new to purchasing properties, but this will only be the second property I've ever purchased and the first in this new area.

A lot of the podcasts I’ve listened to said just to verify how many non related tenants can occupy the property since different municipalities are different, some 3,4,5 etc. so that’s why I initially reached out, but was surprised to have zoning tell me it’s not allowed in a few cases.

Understood that some of the stuff on the listing is their proprietary information but this results in us losing all the reviews. 

You can literally find answers to all of your questions within the confines of this site.

Sounds cliche but always best to reach out to a trustworthy loan officer and fill out an application because there are too many things to look at before determining how much you can qualify for. 

I'll look into NREIG, just to verify that shared-home is not covered.

I ended up getting lucky and finding this one on zillow.The biggest problem I'm seeing is that everyone in my area wants close to retail price for fixer uppers - and people are paying it.

I have a client who wrangled with this question in particular and we were able to get it all sorted out pretty quickly.

Not sure there is 1 best book.I'd read stuff by many of the local guys, as you may have a chance to meet them or hear them speak one day. 

@Tracy Levy fortunately there are lots of options out there: Need to skip, batch skip tracing, skip genie to name a few
