These subcomponents could be anything from HVAC systems to light fixtures or flooring and exterior improvements.

The market is starting to weaken and the new foreclosed/evicted inventory  has not yet started to hit market significantly yet.

As for section 8 they only pay over the top in areas with limited inventory available and high demand.

I invest to replace income, build generational wealth, creating an income funnel, and improve the community around meI like the search and the hunt, acquire a great property, and turning it to something great that no one saw otherwiseIP I look for a deal that makes sense that has a good tenant class, good appreciation, and solid returns (8/10% cash/cash)An agent has to have very good market knowledge, understand the local geographical attributes, and has a good relationship with their network

House hacking a multifamily seems like a great idea, but in the Boston area, with the 5% I can put down, I'm concerned about cash flow once I move out, not even mentioning the lack of inventory right now.

Fully rehabbing the upstairs kitchen, bathroom, and living rooms with medium-to-high-end furnishings (to fit the area and future tenants), and basement will have smaller quality-of-life improvements.

Hi @Luke EdwardsThe interest rate doesn’t really improve for a VA loan if you put more than 0 down.

I'm in NE Ohio and while I don't plan to completely "self-manage" (ie, do maintenance/cleaning/etc. myself) I do want these properties to be close enough that I can A) check them out personally when needed and potentially tinker/add improvements on occasion myself AND B) if they are vacant for a weekend, go and enjoy some R&R on short notice. 

I would like to revisit this same deal with some assistance to improve my analytical skills and areas of improvement.

The issue is there is no inventory!
