Quote from @Erik Estrada: Quote from @Jason Wray: Erik,I am not sure and would never talk in a bad way about any business unless I used them but in the last 8 months I have had several customers reach out to fix what they could not accomplish on really basic overlay issues.I have been seeing a lot of these other AI type LOS type companies drop the ball during the electronic Approve U style 1003/1008 deals that lack typical DU/LP findings.Back in the day we would target this type of company data to reach out and either help on the 6-12 month refinance or the aged leads.

Since you’re looking to build a portfolio without leveraging your primary home, a few strategies could make sense: small multi-family or single-family rentals in nearby Midwest cities, using private money or partnerships to finance deals, or even BRRRR-style acquisitions if you can find the right rehab opportunities.

It does cash flow but wondering if we can optimize it by changing the style of rental. 

Padsplit-style income is great, but only if the demand is strong and consistent.2.
