I kept looking further and further out to find an affordable place where the commute to the city was an hour +.Out of frustration one day I expanded my search to include Hudson County NJ and found that there were great neighborhoods with multi family buildings perfect for house hacking.

I would like to get a "Line Of Credit" and pay off my investor because I need get the AC replaced and Electrical Breaker box updated.

I've seen other investors buy out of the box short term rentals before.

I'll just need 2" screws to reach the old J-boxes in the ceiling for the trimouts. 

@Orlando Glez-JorgePlenty of lenders will lend on this - if you go to Facebook and search for lenders with 100% financing with financing spelled incorrectly, they say they lend at 3% and loan amounts from $5,000 - $50,000,000These lenders will approve you all day long, then have you send them $5,000 upfront.

it took me a few years, but i finally found some deals and i am working on a strategy / buy box for more.yes, good point on syndications - definitely there can be cash flow as you noted. 

The search function here  will help you a lot.

You can usually find some events by doing a simple google search.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

If you have a galley kitchen, you just need to cut for the sink etc so you could get a basic granite countertop kitchen for under a grand.You can't be picky and you have to search around, but it isn't that hard to do.
