Quote from @Chas Ney:

@Nicholas L. Good advice and some I wish I would've received a decade ago. With a wife, two kids, and a sub-3% mortgage I'm not ready to give up any time soon, the traditional definition of house hacking (living in a unit and renting out others) just isn't an option right now. I'm obviously new to this and very early in the process, so I could very well be missing something obvious here and/or not have the creative muscles yet to think through another form of house hacking. Appreciate you reaching out.


 Same situation identically! Hope to see some success for you!

Hello! I have been reading and studying for a couple years now, and currently in my first investment property. (By accident). I have a big background in utility infrastructure and local municipalities. Currently looking to help share my experience with hopes to connect with others as well in the categories I lack in.

Finding deals

Financing 

Let's bardy skills and grow!

Hey Jake, where are you looking at currently? All municipalities are very different as well as power companies, all with very different standards.

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Sunburst.

Purchase price: $150,000
Cash invested: $50,000

Single family, two bed two bath. Currently renovating, will have 3 bed, 2.5 bath and double the square footage when completed. Will re appraise and hopefully be able to pull $150,000+ in equity. Will rent and move onto next.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

After years of renting in the military, we were ready to put our money back into our own pockets.

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

Private sale

How did you finance this deal?

VA loan

How did you add value to the deal?

Forcing equity by double square footage and adding 2 beds, 1 bath.

What was the outcome?

Still in the rehab phase

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Don't try and renovate a house while living in it with two kids and a wife. Ha!
