Now I spend my time making sure new investors entering the market do not make the same mistakes my wife and I made. 

I’m an ex realtor who also has some experience working for a private equity group for a short time before I got a really good gig in a completely unrelated industry that will allow me to have options when investing.

I would caution you with searching for lenders as those that don't follow a draw process or will lend on anything may not actually be a lender and trying to scam you.

First time looking into real estate investing, and I've been researching different ways to get started with CRE without needing millions upfront.

Obviously would be a slower process, but would create very little debt hanging over your head.

Purchase price: $150,000 In the process of buying 1.21 acres in Isabela, Puerto Rico.

Whereas Ohio states does not have renewal fee for an LLC, except a one-time setup fee of $99, plus a fee to get lawyer to setup and transfer deed for me for $1000 in total.2.

Since generally the benefit of a house hack is to hold the primary residence loan as long as possible, if you hold it long-term, you could still be forced to pay the mortgage insurance 10+ years down the line.Plus, you can only have one FHA loan (with some exceptions) at a time, so I'd rather use this house hack for 5% down which I can repeat and save FHA for another time.
