You get the benefits of real estate without the headaches of mortgages, rehabs, or tenants.𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 is a unique way to raise cash by helping sellers secure a tenant-buyer who wants to own the home in the near future.

DTI < 33%I've been constantly getting advised by my real estate agent (& i've discussed this with multiple agents) that if I add any contingencies to the offer, it won't stand a chance in the bay area market.If that is the case, how do I protect myself from challenges which could be found during home inspection / pest inspection related contingencies?

What type of properties are these and what do you mean by it not being "cost-effective" for you?

@Melissa D.You're on the right track by narrowing down your market and strategy while staying open to both house hacking in Denver and long-distance investing.

Hi Everyone,I have a rent by the room property and unfortunately, one of the tenants is being combative and aggressive with the other tenants. 

If you are not finding good deals money wont find you.If you earn a decent wage and are credit worthy you can start investing by house hacking a multi family with a low down payment mortgage.If you have no money or credit your best best is start finding deals and bringing them to other investors who have money.

Each has their own tax implications.There are some alternative methods of calculating how much of the distribution and therefore the interest expense falls under this category, but the bottom line is that it is very important to keep track of.
