But I am willing to bet in the 3 year, probably 5 year and definitely 7 year + frame that these investments will rock any of those one's winning today.

House hacking in South Jersey is actually a pretty solid bet compared to other parts of New Jersey where you are guaranteed negative cash flow.

I read everything on Carroll's website and scoured the web for all the cost information, etc. but I haven't been able to find anyone who's actually built with it.  

Best bet would be to go to your local REIA and ask around. 

I see a huge difference in pricing & days on market just making the jump from 1-bedroom to 2-bedrooms, so I’d do everything I could to hedge those bets.

I didn't ask them about MLS deals, but I'd bet 95% or more of them get done.Ask your main title company how many of their MLS deals close vs how many of their wholesale/off market deals. 

Thanks in advance.KayAssuming your debt to income ratio is actually being calculated correctly and is still too high then a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) would be your best bet.

@Nathan GesnerI bet it’s been a month or two since I literally laughed out loud.

@Alecia Loveless you haven't established proper boundaries.Also, willing to bet the other tenants in the building KNOW what this tenant is like and thus, has few friends in the building.How do you establish boundaries?

I bet it’s such a rewarding process.
