All successful plans are generated this way. 

Leveraging the equity from your house hack for future investments, whether in STRs or larger multi-family properties, is a strategic plan, but ensure your initial property performs well before taking on bigger projects like flipping.

The minimum "initial" lease term in Atlanta is 2 or 3 months, so they don't qualify as STRs, and thus don't have the same regulatory issues.

A tax account ensures nothing is accidentally spent elsewhere, and a marketing account makes sure lead generation is always prioritized.From a credit perspective, connecting credit cards to these accounts on autopay helps you manage spending responsibly while playing the credit game.

I want to ensure I’m saving appropriately for a down payment and that the property will generate enough income to cover all related costs.Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

I use the 1% rule to quickly assess if a property is likely to generate enough income to cover its costs and potentially provide a profit - it's a guideline - so, don't miss out on good investment property by being rigid when applying the "guideline" to rental properties.

Initially, I wanted to do house hacking.

., selling a non-grouped rental property in a taxable sale to a non-related party, both current and suspended passive activity losses generated by that activity can be deducted. 

With margin trading of 20-25% of initial investment, when stocks market collapses with dollar cost averaging as a strategy  , leverage of the initial investment in stocks, the AAR can be more.comparable to most syndication (compared to 20% down payment in real estate).I have been following BP forums for the last 4-5 months and have spent almost 4-500 hours.
