I've had qualified renters move into a rental, add their bum friends or family members, and then disappear, leaving me with bad renters who weren't approved and aren't on the lease.The best practice is to screen every adult, approve them, and add them to the lease. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

U need to flip the return  75% to the money and 25% to you if have any hope of finding someone to do this that is not friends and family.. 10 to 15% is way to little for the risk of being a gap funder.. if the project does not work gap funder is the one who loses money..

Other than the 1 property I am renting my family's taxes are pretty straight forward with a couple W-2 and no LLC, so when I got the $1,700+ quote for tax preparation it seemed a bit much.

I have helped several investors recently acquire single family homes around the $400K price point that rent in the $2,200-$2,350 range.

All but one of the family members are on board, and we collectively own the majority, but it's 55% and the bank requires 60%.

Wanted to still be close to family but maintain a cheaper lifestyle, still have strong appreciation, and much better tenant/landlord laws, taxes, etc. 

My wife and I own a single-family home in a top school district.

Once you have family and get a bit older, house hacking gets difficult. 

While I’m still in the early stages, I’m incredibly motivated to learn, grow, and surround myself with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.What drew me to real estate is that I saw it as the best route for me and family to have financial freedom.
