Sadly I realize that I won't get the hands on control, but I won't be getting calls about every little rehab issue and they are marketing to and qualifying the buyers.

After that you can decide on what market/area you want to invest in In order to house hack I'd have to have the type of income to quality for a home and here in my state the home market is between $350k to $600 kMy income would only qualify me for Maybe $150k worth of house.Im unaware how to move forward with a house hacking option at these prices.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Since you are a real estate agent you are considered to be "self-employed", which means you qualify for Solo 401k plan.

But I once did one to save a couple thousand bucks, and it cost nearly that much just to hire the Qualified Intermediary.Also, I found myself wanting to move into the property I exchanged, which is a no-no without allowing a couple of years to pass under a safe harbor.

Apart from that, talk to a lender to see what you would qualify for so you can be prepared for the purchase when the time is right. 

There are also self-employed bank statement financing that uses 12-24 months of bank statement to qualify you for conventional financing starting at 5% down.

Would I qualify for a mortgage this size?

Lenders that offer DSCR loans generally don't have a cap if the mortgage payments are paid on time and the borrower has the credit score, down payment (or equity if a cash out refinance) to qualify.

If they qualify comes down to if the home is zoned for such use and is permitted by the city/county for such use.
