Anything with major work like kitchens , baths, structural, electrical, plumbing, etc will likely roll into more time...Where did you get the 3-4 months timeline?

so my question is ..Buildium entered into Quickbooks HELPOur Property Management company uses Buildium for our Rental Properties.

Another option for getting into properties quicker is to have your own representation (vs. contacting the listing agent).

@Dan Slaughter I have not looked into Minoan.

I'm looking into the Credit Stacking program that Jack McColl runs.

Of course, this is going to depend on how many points you're willing to eat for buy down (break even analysis timeline is a must), but either way, mid 9%s is at least 1-2% high.  

@Dan Heuschele, sounds like you got your answer, but over 5 years of actively working with over 4,000 LPs, my experience aligns with Brian's.I am sure, as of today, the number of LPs that want out of deals going south is probably much higher than leading into this correction, but unfortunately, if you want out after there is already a scent of blood, the chances of finding a willing buyer at anything more than pennies on the dollar is probably slim to none.That being said, I know Cadre runs their own secondaries platform.  

I started out flipping and then transitioned my business to wholesaling so I can easily close on any transaction if I have to.I don't like the bad reputation that wholesaling has because of people jumping into it with no idea or understanding of best practices, but hopefully, with regulations, we can clean out the bad ones.

If you plan to be there LESS than 7 years, then I might consider NOT BUYING because if prices stay the same it will take nearly that long to pay down a mortgage enough to cover commissions and closing costs to sell and break even. 

House Hacking can be broken down into three distinct phases: when buying, while living there, and after moving out.
