SFH Buy and hold
Investment Info:
Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Pittsburgh.
Purchase price: $150,000
Cash invested: $20,000
This property was purchased with a 0% downpayment VA laon. I lived in the basement, and rented the 3 bedrooms out above. It covered the entire mortgage and all the utilities. I always had about $150-300 leftover each month. I did not consider it "cashflow" as i just saved it for capex/maintenance.

Nice! House hacking is a great way to get started. I did the same thing as you with my VA loan on a new townhome back in 2020; you won't regret it!

Awesome! I am looking to get my first property and house hack myself, as it's such a good way to get started in REI. If you need help with finding contractors or connections with other professionals in the area, I'm happy to connect.
