A lot of people sleep on properties that have been sitting, but where some profitable opportunities are.That said, I’ve been spending a lot of time working directly with investors and sourcing off-market multifamily deals—ones that never make it to Zillow or Redfin.

Additionally, we rented out a room for one year.

We are fairly new to real estate investing with one single-family, cash-flowing property under our belt in Augusta, GA.

Also, why not utilize section 8 on this one?

Refinance is one way to do it, if you want to avoid getting new debt because cash flow is high look into lease options to buy or executory contracts.

By purchasing a multi-unit property, living in one unit, and renting out the others, you can cover your mortgage payments and start building equity while gaining rental income.

I dont know the terms of this specific home equity agreement but the ones I have seen in the past were pretty expensive.

The ones that read like an advertising piece go nowhere. 

In fact, one of my clients last year closed on a house hack near Keystone and turned a 5 bedroom single family home into a 6 bedroom house, and he is living in one room and renting out the 5 other rooms individually between $1,300-$1,400 per month per room because of the lack of affordable housing options up there. 

This fits my plan for a couple of reasons, I plan to rent one unit long team and as I travel a fair bit for work I'll Airbnb the second unit when I'm overseas.
