Hey @Rochelle Fernando 👋🏽Great post and I've seen some of your previous posts on here, and I totally hear you on how tough the numbers are right now.One thing I’ve found works really well for 3-4-unit house hacks in high-rate times is to target properties that need a little TLC.

However, I would say that recently haven't targeted the area just because the median sales prices are so high.

A well-drafted dispute and deadlock process, along with clear reporting standards and regular investor updates, keeps relationships healthy and value intact.If you share a bit more about your goals, target check size, and whether you’re using 1031 proceeds, I can suggest what structure tends to fit best and what red flags to watch for in the documents.

Ensure your target Class B properties can truly generate positive cash flow after all expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, vacancy, repairs, capital expenditures, management fees).2.

Great to have you here - getting started is often the hardest (and most exciting) part.Here are some beginner-friendly tips to help you find good deals and know what to watch for during a purchase:How to Find Good Deals --Work with investor-friendly agents or a turnkey provider company in cash-flowing markets (many off-market deals come from relationships).Target secondary and tertiary markets like Akron & Canton, OH, Ocala, FL, or San Antonio, TX - lower prices, solid rents.Use deal-finding tools like:Realtor.com with filters for multi-family or SFRPropstream or BatchLeads for distressed or pre-foreclosure listsJoin local Facebook groups & BiggerPockets forums for wholesalers and pocket listingsMake lots of offers – the more you analyze and submit, the faster you learn what a “deal” looks like.What to Pay Attention to During a PurchaseBuy based on numbers, not emotion:Aim for cash-on-cash return of minimum 2%-3% in most casesInspect EVERYTHING:Foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC - unexpected repairs kill cash flow.Know the neighborhood:Check crime data, school ratings, and rent comps.Is it landlord-friendly (check state/local laws)?

For me, the #1 factor is the numbers if the ARV is solid and there’s enough room after rehab and holding costs to hit my target returns, I’ll look deeper.

Can I target trailers as a viable option?

Because the Property Class dictates the Class of the tenant pool that the property will attract.The Tenant Class greatly impacts rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.Both Property Class and Tenant Class will affect what type of contractors, handymen and property management companies you should target and be willing to deal with a property.The Property Class will also impact the maintenance & renovations you do to,, “Maintain to the Neighborhood”.Why is that important?

Fed Funds is also a target, not a directive.
