Single-gender homes are only for transitional housing (like soberliving houses, halfway houses, etc). 

A conforming loan refers to a type of mortgage that that aligns with the criteria set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).

I decided not to go that route and start looking for a good PM in Kansas City to buy some cash flow houses through and manage.

I specialize in small multifamily properties and house hacking working alongside BiggerPockets podcast guest Andrew Freed to help investors find high-performing deals in Central MA.My Background:  - Started in late 2019 I utilized an FHA loan to get my first 3 family property in Fitchburg, spent about a year fixing it up and soon after I refinanced. 

I am a wholesaler looking to also break into house hacking, brrrr strategy, and eventually fix and flips.I am in west TX areaWhere in Tx are you currently and what strategies do you employ? 

Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too? 

I would for NOT do tree houses for liability reasons.

Beginning my house hacking journey and looking to connect with as many other investors in our area as possible. 

In your case of a fourplex, option 2 should get you a better deal.I would also agree with Bill on how the number of units may not correlate with the value of the property unless it is a large multifamily complex, and sometimes a fourplex or several single family houses would give you better returns. 100% We always recommend conventional first until you can no longer qualify for those.
