First House hack with rents covering PITI. Turnkey property with minimal repairs needed.

Wanted to jump into REI and try to eliminate my personal housing costs.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Deal was on MLS. Seller was motivated to sell quick since they were buying an apartment building.

How did you finance this deal?

FHA Loan

How did you add value to the deal?

Minor repairs, mainly painting

Rents from the second unit and renting out a room in my unit cover PITI
