I share more on splurging/saving for max ROI on my Bigger Pockets Episode (933:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-933), if you haven't listened to it already.

Living in one unit and renting out the others allows you to deduct 75% of expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, and shared repairs as rental expenses, while the remaining 25% applies to personal use.

I'm a local Duluth investor, happy to share my experience and can give some recommendations to help build your team.

These programs are called Equity Share programs.

Does anyone have any contacts they wouldnt mind sharing that can add me to their buyers list?

Can you share some additional numbers about the investment property you're looking to buy?

Yes, I share my numbers with seller.

Thanks Sarah, I don’t see much house hacking going on in Essex or Dundalk in terms of listings on Zillow or FB so my concern would be finding professional adult roommates that want to house share in that area. i’ve been following a lot of the midterm rental groups in Facebook and the consensus is that contracts have decreased significantly and hospitals are using more local labor pools.

@Jonathan Baptiste thanks for sharing your house hacking experience.

For reasons mentioned above the post will not be removed for transparency reasons but thank you for sharing your experience and clarifying the situation.
