Curious if either of you ended up pursuing student rentals in Windsor? 

@Bryson Ragsdale search "house hacking biggerpockets" in spotify or the Podcast app and that should bring up the ones that talk about house hacking!

@Dustin Sanders We have a couple of options that can still do a 15% on DSCR, but as Stephenie eluded to above, everything else has to sort of line up in a perfect scenario to make it work.

Family committments can be pink (or whatever color), money making tasks (green), follow up for leads/lead generation (yellow).If it's on my calendar, it exists.

Just be ready and treat matters guests bring up etc urgently and you will do great. 

Getting that first property is exciting—and yeah, NYC is no joke when it comes to price of entry.Honestly, a lot of people I’ve talked to in your shoes end up finding better opportunities just outside the city.

I also suspect the vast majority of lenders will take exception to your mom being the 1st position lien (look up strategic default).

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

And each year when the lease comes up for renewal, I ask them to contact the housing authority and ask for a rent increase.
