If done right using a hard money lender can be a great way to propel your portfolio with BRRRs. 

Live in one unit - It's a great strategy when using a bank for financing as the down payment and interest rates are more favorable to owner occupants.  

So even if you had a buy out agreement negotiated up front and execute that buy out agreement, the bank would still require him to be guarantor unless something drastic changed on your side financially.The best scenario here would be to purchase and rehab the property using a hard money lender or bridge lender.  

Tenants save money when using a shared meter, so there's plenty of room for error when calculating how to distribute the charges.

We have heard of using a hotspot or burner phone situation for wifi, but we are not sure how this works.

After selling one and using a 1031 exchange to buy a fourplex in Chicago, he reduced his interest burden by 20% while boosting his net incomes by $1,500 per month.

@Dalton Foote I have had tremendous success using direct mail and mailing the owner of record where the tax bills get mailed to.Generally, property management companies don’t pay the real estate taxes so this gets me right to the owner.Targeting wise, I would just do a zip code filtered by unit count using a service like listsource.  

@Brice Alef-Torrisi To manage finances for multiple properties, maintain separate bank accounts for each property if held under different LLCs to avoid commingling, which could jeopardize liability protection and complicate tax deductions.If properties are under one LLC, using a single account is fine but requires detailed record-keeping for each property.
