They have failed to renew my entities with the Secretaries of State multiple times, have billed me wrong amounts, and GREATEST OF ALL, have cost my business ~$50K in cumulative TAX PENALTIES due to negligence in filing for a tax extension, failing to walk me through my tax filings and needed payments, and failing to file an abatement promptly.

The strategy I'm following for my first house hack is to acquire a multifamily property (duplex, triplex, quadplex) or SFH w/ an ADU (or potential for an ADU) as I am mainly looking to simultaneously acquire my first property and subsidize my mortgage payment.

You'll likely need a higher down payment if you can find anyone willing to finance something like this as a first time investor; many require some level of rehab experience at the very least.

Not only would it decrease your monthly mortgage but you'd be able to get into it with a very little down payment since you'd be living in one side of it. 

Ability to repay - can you as the borrower afford the payments based on the loan amount.Typically they will not take into consideration the mortgage on a new property that has not been taken out as that is new.

Set up a Joint account with the seller so you can make deposits to continue the automatic payments to the lender until you refinance the property.Thanks,Dustin

@Marcos Carbi  If you want to allow a payment plan, Tell them this is the best I can do:Pay $xxx cash by tonight at 8pm for November's rent. and then beginning Monday Jan 20, pay $450 each Monday (in cash?

These are features like online renter payments, tenant portal (for payments and work orders), help keeping track of work orders, tax reporting features, and accounting functionality.

A strong property manager should have a reliable network of vendors and ensure competitive rates for the work they oversee.
