Hi @Dev Paul,If I understand correctly, you would want to purchase a property for less than $425k in NOVA or the greater DC area that you can house hack for the time being and convert to a rental in the future, correct?

Hi BP,I am about to close on my first deal beyond my primary residence which will be converted into a rental next year.

@Jonathan Greene I did exactly that earlier today, and the assessor told me that the taxes would not go up if I converted the 2 bedrooms and didn't add any sq footage.

The rents on those are about $50-75 per month lower than homes where furnace has been moved up into the attic space and that closet converted with plumbing etc been added for a stacked washer dryer.

As you and @Carl Fischer both mentioned - converting passive rental income into ordinary income subject to SE tax by way of paying your PM company a management fee could be costly if the proper steps aren't taken or if your tax situation doesn't allow for any benefit of your proposed structure.You also want to be sure an S Corp election is right for you. 

You need a third-party note buyer.Yes, these note buyers will be looking for a discount, but that's the cost of converting an income stream back into cash ahead of the agreed payment schedule.

But a good portion, even now, are converting and the clients are very happy.

This could be a rental, but I really think that the real value is in converting it into a TIC.
