Hey all, first time landlord with ~3 months experience here.I brought a tenant in 3 months ago with an insurance company paying the rent (tenant's house is being repaired after a fire).

Looking forward to reviewing these options.Here's the PA law: https://clsphila.org/housing/security-deposits-in-pa/Any bank account will work.

We moved into a nice house in Florida when I was a sophomore in high school.

It’s a larger house (3500 sqft. 5 bed), but is secluded, private, centrally located, and sits on nearly 3.3 acres of the East Bay Hills, with open space as far as the eye can see outside.

The good news is you don't need a specialty loan for a house hack, just a traditional primary home loan.

While I can imagine some cities might be against "boarding houses" or enforce their "brothel law" I can't imagine too many cities would be supportive of it. 

You go out and buy an apartment house and then hire a property manager so you don't have to personally spend time on the property.

I don’t think the tiny house would get you there.

house hacking is great start, that's how i started in the business. would love to connect

Your realtor will be able to give you a much more detailed market specific answer but with house hacking and a VA loan it should be possible to get 0 out of pocket.
