Think about the lifestyle you want.

My biggest issue is that I’m using personal funds as owner contributions to these accounts and money moves from account to account on a consistent basis, so I’m trying to be diligent in proper accounting. 

But my biggest advice, make sure you properly comp the property. 

If the property is in fact vacant, the problem it runs into is proper comps where say it might have 9 bedrooms and the rest of the neighborhood and similar properties have 3. 

If you can own the property and pay a similar amount for a similar lifestyle, it's probably a good decision (assuming you can afford it if it doesn't go perfectly, needs repairs, etc.)With house hacking the rule of thumb is: The more uncomfortable you're willing to live, the better the numbers will be.

Thank you.The general rule I go by, after flipping a ton of houses, is that I regret selling them now.If you buy them right (we’re an exception, as we buy at 7 to 15 cents on the dollar) and rehab them properly, you’ll get a ridiculous profit by keeping them, using strategies like the BRRRR method.Honestly, it doesn’t make much sense to sell them right away if you bought them right.

@Garrett Brown glad to know we see eye to eye on valuable STR content and proper spelling! 

If you have multiple properties where you can do this, you can finance a very nice lifestyle and still retain the underlying assets.Just curious the groups' thoughts on this?

I have seen a lot of videos of people are saying "Utilize debt as the power to take these leaps," so this is where I am ready to go if the deals make sense.Thanks for anyones help Regarding utilizing debt- In my opinion the proper way to utilize debt is to purchase assets that throw off more cash than required by the debt. 

But I recently upgraded and used a local designer who has given me full sets of interior colors and exterior colors so we can properly design each home
