If you can swing living in one of the units of your new multi it could help to lower the rate on your loan by about a point, which I highly recommend.The process is almost the same but your inspection is going to cost more and you'll have to take over the leases of the tenants already in place.

And right now some deals (less conservatively structured with high debt, floating rate loans, etc) are under distress and had to stop distributions.

If so, could you afford to buy your home today at the current interest rate and price?

So my questions are: What are the annual occupancy rates?

Also make sure your asking rent price isn't right at the top of going rates.

HUD has a guideline on market rates for 1 BR, 2 BR, 3BR, etc. 

Cold email and texting will have lowest conversion rate but highest volume.

Your interest rate should be higher than 6 percent.

Long term wouldn't work for me currently, as the going rental rate for my house would be under what my current mortgage is.

By the Fed raising interest rates it slows those major asset purchases down... which is why you are not finding many cash-flowing deals.
