If it's a flip, a light grey or beige  is good.. but if it's a rental-- we only do white, and we come in with a sprayer and make everything white!   It's incredibly fast, cheap and time efficient!  If you're doing higher end rentals or flips, again go for color. ...but if it's a cheaper or lower income rental, white is where it's at!

Thanks for the tip. So the trim and walls are the same white color? Is it tinted at all? I've been painting my trim with straight semi-gloss paint/primer with no tint.

Also, thanks for mentioning me because I had no idea anybody replied to this thread, let alone 30 posts!

if anybody would like my excel calculator for rental properties, pm me. It does everything the BP calculator does. There are many reasons to go pro, but the calculator isn't one of them imo.

I meant to ask for specific brands too.

Looking for something that is very non-offensive and a crowd pleaser. Thanks!

He'd buy 1% of a syndicate that owns 5,000 units and then brag that he just bought 5,000 more units...  ;)

Post: When looking for off-market deals, is it possible to do FHA loan?

You can do an FHA loan as long as you live in the property you are using it on for at least a year. As for buying the house being off-market, that shouldn't matter. If you doubt whether you qualify for an FHA, they have a requirement list you can Google.

As for selling your primary home, I do not know what your goal, market, or financial situation is, but if my market was good and my financial situation was solid I would keep that property and potentially rent it out. If I had to, I would sell it and use the extra cash on a good rental. Again, I don't know if you are trying to get into rentals or what not, but that's what I would do.

 Thanks for the response. I guess my question is more about whether any seller would consider accepting those terms. Most people on here looking at off-market deals buy with cash or hard money it seems. 

I do qualify for FHA, but I will not qualify for two mortgages. My house is not a great candidate for rent anyways. I would only be able to have 100-200 left over after PITI, which is not enough IMO. I have essentially zero equity and likely over-payed just a little, so needless to say, I will not have anything left over after the sale. Plan is to sell my house and buy a multifamily. Trying to come up with some creative ways to get the best deal possible.

Everybody says you can find the best deals off market. I want to know if it's even plausible for my situation.

I will need to do a FHA and probably have to have a contingency that I sell my primary residence. I don't want to make a fool of myself contacting owners with these terms if it generally can't be done.

We can make a 40% IRR on a real estate deal and it does not hold a candle to the employer match, nor do we have to wait until age 59.5 to access it, nor does it cost many members anything except a minuscule index fund fee.

With respect, there is no way that an employer match plus an index fund can give you 20% returns every single year for the next 30 years and then 50%+ for the rest of your life.
