5% conventional house hack advice needed
I have never bought a house. I want to house hack using a 5% conventional loan. The triplex I'm looking at is listed at 130,000. Its in pretty decent shape other than some cleanup and foundation issues.
The 3 sty home (including finished attic) has a crawl and I can see the owner has tried to reinforce the bottom with wood planks running from the foundation up to the 1st floor. I also noticed everything on the top story is leaning inward ever slightly so.
Is this a deal breaker?? The home would generate over 2.5k fully rented out and fixed up really conservatively. If I need to redo something down the line 10-20 years that is also expected and I will have capital expenditures built up by then. Not experienced, and don't want to make a bad first move!
