Quick response and a fair cash-for-keys offer is still the fastest and least expensive way to get someone out who isn't paying.The folks who are doing best with Padsplit have a portfolio of them, manage the houses themselves, and they are good at it. 

First decide the area(s) of interest to you as an investor - both geographically and the type of investment (SFR, small / large multi, storage, etc).

Can someone enlighten me on why the market is a little cheaper?

It isn't true that all properties cash flow.We have a formula and have developed a program that helps us decide.

I have a foreign client who is completing a 1031 exchange, and has decided to bring extra cash to the closing table to replenish the "withheld" FIRPTA amount on the sale of the relinquished property.

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

Househacking is essentially renting out rooms to folks to offset your mortgage, this can also be done in Multifamly with other units in whatever you decide to buy.

If I am wrong, someone please enlighten me because I have been leaving a lot of film on the cutting room floor.

Clearly you didn't but someone should drive there and check it out.

I wouldn't be where I am without Jake or my partner Mike.I was at the same inflection point you were, and. decided to partner with Jake, looking for some income on the side.
