I suggest you enter private money goldmine in search botton at top right of the screen and read the previous posts....here is one that gives good perspective as well as a link to legitimate private lenders.http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/1488...

The strategy I'm following for my first house hack is to acquire a multifamily property (duplex, triplex, quadplex) or SFH w/ an ADU (or potential for an ADU) as I am mainly looking to simultaneously acquire my first property and subsidize my mortgage payment.

Traditional 30 year investment property home mortgage at 3.25%.What was the outcome?

My mortgage is $2450 monthly.

Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals.

I’m aware that thousands of notes with their corresponding Mortgages/DOT’s are packaged up and as a whole create an MBS (mortgage backed security).

.- Rents will be paying the mortgage off, increasing the owner's equity/wealth.- If you hold a rental until death, you can pass it on with a stepped-up cost basis, limiting captial gains if then sold (limited by inheritance tax limitations).Too many newbies on this site trying to replace their day job income via "passive" real estate investing w/o digging deep enough to understand how it really works.

The mortgage would be $5,200 so I would cover the other $3,200.

@Chris LinIf you were to include Equity growth (from appreciation and mortgage pay-down) what sort of returns would you have? 

But this was an awesome opportunity for me because this is my first living situation where I will be on my own (and getting used to paying a rent/mortgage) but this will put my overall mortgage on a 400k house at roughly $2000 a month for the first year!
