It’s clear that there’s an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience here, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing with this community.I’m looking to connect with members who are open to mentoring or collaborating on real estate deals, particularly in buy-and-hold strategies for single-family or multi-family properties.

"what is your experience living with room mates?"

I’ve done one successfully in the past, so I’m not a complete novice regarding the topic, but that one experience doesn’t make me any less worried about the possibility of running out of time.

Speaking from my experience with DSCR loans, most lenders will look at this deal as a 2-unit and qualify the income from only the 2 legally zoned units.

(been working and succeeding since 2008 or before, someone you have experience with, good returns, close to 5yr investment?)

I wish I had the experience to use your strategy.

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

If anyone has gone through this experience, would really appreciate your help to determine exactly what licenses, permits and tax accounts are needed to be in compliance.Thanks so much! 

So if I can do it anyone can I had really zero experience .

When problems with tenants come up, it is important to have professionals on your team that have experience navigating tenant problems such as evictions.
