Mortgage rates and PMLs are 8-12% plus points right now so the deal has to be a low enough entry. 

Covering the mortgage isn’t an issue, but I’m considering factors like: Multi-Family: House hacking would help offset costs right away, but I’d likely need to put money into renovations upfront.Single-Family: Easier move-in with no immediate renovations needed, plus potentially lower tenant turnover once I rent it out For those who have been in a similar situation, what did you choose and why?

Mortgage laws, title and Deed laws, wire transfer laws, landlord tenant laws.Realize the seller of a distressed property has rights.

Depreciation, mortgage interest, and expenses can reduce taxable income.
