House hacking requirements

[Bryan Payne]

Hey guys, I've been researching multifamilies for the past few years and just wanted to say thanks for all the help these articles, posts and comments have been. I've finally purchased a three family home to "house hack" my way into the real estate world. Things are going well, and now that I've made the first investment. I wanted to know more about the next. So my question to you is how long til I can purchase the next MF? I know I have to live in this property for at least a year, but is the rule as a landlord 2 years? Also, any pointers on how to prepare over this year (or 2) to make things go smoothly on the next one? Thanks in advance!
