@Katherine Blazer, hello, I have been looking online ND have not found much luck. Looking to get orders to Macdill this October. Nothing I have found online are cash flow multifamily.

@Gavin Welch, I have been looking in this area. I hope to get there orders to Madill this October. I have not been able to find anything online in Tampa area. Looking to house hack a multi for a year. Trying my hardest to keep my commute to Macdil under an hour though.

@Shalom Brenton, I am retiring in FL soon, I was looking in the Tampa area or Brevard County area and have not found much. It's a little hard currently stationed in Maryland. From all my reading, most people find good deals by actually being there and being on the hunt. I'm trying my best to find a multi to house hack when I get there. I really don't want to move there and rent for a year just to go find a good deal.

What has worked for you?

@Erickson Sainval. I am sort of in the same boat, will either retire in Tampa area in three years or retire next spring in FL some where and plan on using VA again. Why is your closing cost not rolled into your VA loan? I used my VA loan once around ten years ago and I didn't put anything down. It was a new built construction home.

Even though I am new, I have read a lot of books and listened to a lot of pod casts, they have all pretty much said not to invest in a property based of appreciation, it will never make you money. It's called an alligator house.

My advice, keep looking, deals are hard to find but they are out there. If it's not cash flowing when you move out in a year, keep looking.

Anyone recommend any good multifamily house hacking books who start/success is not based on getting money from parents or in-laws for down payments. I want some struggle knowledge not easy was handed 20k - 165k to invest.

It literally makes me want to throw the book across the room. I listen to all these bigger pockets pod cast and they reference their book and explain what they did but leave the part out how parents gave them the money. I've prob wasted over $100 on books in the last six months on this.

I'm not mad at these people, press on with your success and I wish you the best. Not everyone including me has parents / inlaws to fall back on or go get 20k-165k from. I want to know how people do it without parents and in-laws.

@Dan Gustavson didnt think of it this way. I would have them pay for it and then keep it for future tenents. Raise rent for next tenents

@Kyle J. Right, sounds like he is being petty, wish that was my landlord. She basically dod all the work for them, found them a place, no movers needed, and paying them.

@Allen Lopez why would you hire movers for 5 doors down? I would take the weekend and move everything nice and easy, no need for a bunch of boxes or even taking much furniture apart. Sounds like a nice landlord if she found you another place, thats really close. She didn't have to do that. Your landlord or you can't control a roof leak, atleast she is fixing it. At the very most, if she owns that other apartment, I would ask for the same rate for the new apartment. Life happens and a roof leak is just another bump in the road, adapt & overcome.

@Nathan Williams thats what I was going to say. Thats more than a turn key rental, paying tenents included,lol
