We don't currently have a BPCON volunteer program, but you never know if that might change! 

Hello,A friend and I are exploring real estate investing as a long-term strategy, and we are particularly interested in leveraging the VA loan program.

Hi everyone,I’m reaching out to the community for a referral to a rock-solid landlord attorney with deep experience in the Norfolk Housing Court (Dedham/Stoughton) and the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP).I am a live-in landlord (owner-occupant) of multi-family in Canton, MA.

Buying tenant occupied in a 3 family can be totally fine, just go in assuming you are inheriting their leases and the program rules, not getting a clean slate.

Maybe this would stop the 99% of “wholesalers” who get in without realistic expectations from wasting their time and wasting their capital/credit on a guru mentorship program long on sales and short on results. 

Same for 2-years of job/income stability.Tenant Default: 10-20% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Section 8: Class C rents usually meet program requirements, proper screening still recommended.Vacancies: 10-20%, depending on market conditions and tenant screening.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Should cashflow immediately, at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.Class D Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, but should have no convictions/evictions in last 12 months.

Biggest point to take away is most data is lacking real time specs and when even one piece of data is off, sqft, lot size, number or units, number of bed/baths, GLA, age of construction, new renovations and details you will "never" have clean data which hurts the NOI, ARV and possible BRRRR process.Leave it up to the experts like a Good Realtor who is seasoned in investment rentals and a Banker who offers multiple programs not just conventional and DSCR options. 

I'm not aware of any programs that would allow you to get financing as if you were an owner-occupant. 

I'm an agent in NYC and I participate with the Zoodealio program.
