When he applied with me he hadzero credit.

I keep hearing the 50% rule and the 1% rule i was wondering what they are and how would they apply to a house hack?

New Mexico has an unfortunate law against prepayment penalties for DSCR Loans on 2-4 unit multi that requires higher rates, but they don't apply to 5+ and I've seen some people have success with that size range in NM

I will definitely be applying everything you mentioned.When you price down during off season does it positively or negatively affect your monthly earnings ? 

Opportunity Zone benefits apply to capital gains, not depreciation recapture unless held in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF).

@Natalie Johnstone My former employer who was a privately traded company that owned over a billion dollars of real estate and had an ancillary management business with revenues that exceeded $100M annually would sometimes form entities in Delaware because business cases are tried in front of a judge w/o a Jury and case law that's applied to decisions is very well developed in the State.

Make sure to check with a cross-border tax advisor on how this could impact your overall tax strategy.Umm I'm pretty sure the US presence test only applies to non US citizens who are actually physically present in the US for over 183 days, not for owning property. 

Once she's out, you are back in the driver's seat because you have her deposit to apply towards cleaning or repairs.If she's not willing to save $5,000 then there's probably nothing you can do but wait it out.

Best to buy 2-4 unit, live in one, rent the rest.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

They sell product only in many cases, and if you are working with someone you must apply some critical thinking and skepticism to their advice and see if it is in your best interests.I frankly get annoyed when I see and hear comments about high compensation of insurance agents as an argument against using it, as that is really not relevant if the ultimate solution is good and valuable.
