So it is just about creating a situation where the consumer is treated fairly and honestly.

Regards Going to depend what route you go through (conventional - or DSCR with an LLC etc.) also I believe what state you are in matters - states can vary how they treat marriages and guarantor / requirement rules

Now some absolutely treat eXp like a MLM, joined for such, and I can say with certainty it's not working out for them.

House hacking is definitely a great way to learn to be a landlord on training wheels.If you decide to rent to your friends, I'd still treat them like any other tenant.

C+ Neighbourhood13 Unit Apartment Building (Link: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/7828-S-Essex-Ave-Chicago-IL/30374409/) The average Rent is $1400-1500 (to be safe $1300, but I am extremely confident that I will be able to rent higher adding value and convenience to the tenants and treating them as a bit with a higher level of service) - $16,900 at full occupancy and ~$12,000 at 70% building. 

If you can't treat this like a business and get rid of bad renters, then I recommend you hire someone to do it for you. 

For this reason many states will treat installment sales contracts as mortgages and require a foreclosure process.

Treat your deserving tenants with respect and you may get some back!

Little treats for myself?  

Can I then treat my property as an investment/income property?
