I've been teetering around the idea of house hacking once I am done with college, but a big issue I have come across when speaking to a mortgage broker is the fact that I need to prove 2x of the mortgage in monthly income.

High-quality photos and detailed property descriptions are key. 

Quote from @Phillip Austin: There are two alternatives to a security deposit, which I speak about in my book.

With $4+ million in equity, you could conservatively leverage your replacement property(ies) and generate strong passive cash flow from high quality NNN assets.

Hey everyone,I’m curious to know what strategies have been most effective for you when it comes to finding consistent, high-quality deals.  

Also, consider this copy & paste advice below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Speaking of whic, rent is due on one of my units today, and I got to log in and check right now.Hope this helps.Leon

Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

Based on the quality of this particular home, my rent estimate may be low.Note: you have to consider other factors.
