You obviously aren’t going to make $500/mo.

I would keep in touch with the charity, especially 60-i0 days from now to make sure the credit card charges aren’t reversed.

If they aren't, you don't know what is wrong with it yet.

I think insurance will dictate some of what happens on this front.Also consider for many people the moves aren't about the factors you consider but they are tied to work or family. 

However, rental real estate activities in which you materially participate aren't passive activities if you qualify as a real estate professional.

What happens if things aren't working?

Independent insurance agents can also help compare rates across multiple providers, and they might have access to options that aren’t available directly.

If you aren't confident in other management prospects then liquidating the property and looking at some other investment avenues may be the best option. 

These investors aren't buying for the tax savings.

if you aren't will to or don't want to go into those types of areas, but by all means the FHA or 5% down conventional 2-4 unit loan is gonna be the way to go in my opinion.We did a house hack as our first move into reale state investing and it was the best thing we ever did and continues to expand ints benefits to us every year, So I am a huge fan of the strategy.
