Problem with Zillow and FB is they have this annoying "1-click reply" where people can just click on your ad without reading it and you get an automated message "Joe is interested in your apartment at 123 Main St."

I’m currently selling my main house and wanted to house hack but the only multi family properties coming on the market are like $1.2 million for a duplex and it just doesn’t math :/ Home prices here have always seemed to be higher than most areas. 

The property has 7 acres with a 3/2 main house and a second separate 2/1 house (which also needs renovation) with its own drive.  

Each property qualifies on its own economic merits (i.e. rental income covering PITI payments)This is one of the main advantages for DSCR financing, i.e. the ability to scale without any kind of DTI limit imposed by conventional financing.

The main issue is a consistent lack of effective management and oversight.

Main benefits to this strategy include:- Low down payment options (as low as 3-5%)- Acquisition experience- Property management experienceThe NYC metro area has nearly 2,000 available 2-4 unit listings on the market.Other new investors consider the BRRRR Strategy.All the best to you on your journey!

You may not need "2 years of work history" either depending on the detailsGenerally speaking there are 2 main types of loans for investors: “Conventional” and “Portfolio”Conventional - I'll define these as loans that come from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (if you recognize those names).

I'm a fellow real estate investor and I own properties throughout New Hampshire and Maine Southern Coast, I'd love to connect and bounce ideas off each other. 

If cash flow is the main goal, there are many other markets to consider before San Diego.

Currently renting the main house as a LTR and the ADU as a MTR.
