I’m glad! It’s pretty simple but definitely not easy!

@Scott Mac thank you!

Hey BP!

I’m Grayson and my wife and I are serial house hackers! We’ve bought two fourplexes in the last year and a half to live in and rent out.

We’ve been living for free + $600 a month for the last year and a half! I decided to start a blog to show you how we did it. Fee free to subscribe and follow our guide to do what we do. Also, feel free to ask us questions. We will start with what a Fourplex is and how all the way through the finding, buying, managing and selling processes!

Week 5 of my blog!

This week I go into negotiations! Part 5 of my blog dives into how to make stronger offers and hopefully get them accepted. Feel free to stop by and ask questions! My goal is to give you some confidence to get out there and invest! Next week I will go into financing your next deal.

Hey everyone!

I am currently “House Hacking” and when I was first starting out I could not find a lot of good material specifically about small multi family investing. Therefore, after living it for two years and buying a few owner occupied fourplexes I decided to make some content for those trying to get started.

It’s just a small blog that I will be doing that takes someone from starting out, to running the numbers, then going under contract to managing tenants. I hope you get something from this. I’m just doing it to help others because I know how hard it was when I was first starting!

My wife and I house hacked and rehabbed a Fourplex. We only worked after 10-6pm on anything with nails or screws. And when we had to take a jack hammer to the tiles we sent them to dinner (on us) Saturday night and worked while they were gone.

They signed a lease renewal in the middle of a rehab with a $50 rent raise.

@James Wise

I understand that everything you said was legal. But after seeing that article about BiggerPockets it seems counter intuitive to say things like that. People already have a bad view of land lords.

Just my two cents.

@Tarik Turner

Yes but my one year is up so we want to move.

Hey,

I have a Fourplex I'm house hacking and flipping with my wife. We have another SFR so our DTI is quite high. We went from bank to bank with our pitch for our second off market Fourplex to house hack and flip.

I finally found a lender who’s willing to do a portfolio loan but she has missed the closing date three times now. I’m having trouble getting this deal closed because she always comes back asking for more and more paperwork. Any suggestions to help smooth the process along?

Thanks!
