If you can get a 4 unit and a basement, that would be ideal and create major cash flow and equity creation, plus you can not worry about a property manager and boost your yield.You want to try and lock up as much cheap debt as you can today. 

Many companies are now actually facing a labor shortage, which puts peoTest ple looking for jobs in a position of leverage when it comes to negotiating their compensation and benefits.testCollege graduates from the Class of 2022 should expect to see a big boost in hiring compared to the previous class, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

As long as you both agree with whatever you do and are on the same page regarding expectations then it isn't morally "wrong" ... it may or may not be a good business decision especially when evaluated in the light of all your other possible options.

In 1973 commercial private mortgage lending got a boost when an area franchise developer for Weight Watchers International sold his business and decided to take the $15 million proceeds and provide commercial mortgage second liens to fill some of the gap on commercial property purchases.California mortgage brokers have been advertising high interest investments in private mortgages since the early 1960s.

Hey @Michael GarlandAlways love to discuss creative income boosting strategies.

Some of the challenges:1) Pairing clients with properties that with an affordable plan yield the results the clients need2) Get the property into contract in this aggressive sellers' market with strong STR property buyer competition3) Deep due diligence to minimize property risk during inspection period + create best COE plan to yield the highest possible cash flow + start scheduling post-COE reno work4) After COE, get the hot potato moving- help in any way necessary to make sure my clients get this work done quickly and without complications so they can get their property on the rental market ASAP and start generating cash flow.5) Occasional STR audits as requested (always an option) by clients, to further boost their cash flow, and effectively their home value- based on income approach.

In a few months I’ll be living with family and paying $0 rent, which will boost my savings by over $2000 a month, though eventually I’ll want my own space - I’ll probably house hack, once I’ve picked an area I’d like to live in for a few years.What I’m not sure on is, how I should handle financing my first (and subsequent) property purchases.

Even if nothing comes of it, it's a little energy boost, and hopefully by sharing, I can offer some encouragement to anyone who might need it.

I have a low credit score (slightly above 600) due to carrying high credit card debt as well as having some charged off CC's from my college days, however the statute for those to show up on my credit report expire in August of this year so it should provide a sizable boost to my credit score, in addition to my plan I have in place to reduce my total credit usage from $12,000 (out of 13,000 available) down to about $4,000 by July (hopefully lower!).  

However, there is a low likelihood the feds would come in and seize the property and I believe the DOJ has issued guidance to on this very topic.Some lenders however still have a moral objection and since banks are regulated, in part or full, at the federal level, they don't want to risk getting in trouble with regulators.There has also been some weird stuff coming out of California where the police have seized the cash shipments coming from dispensaries and tried to use the asset forfeiture clause similar to if they seized funds from an illegal enterprise.There are banks and credit unions that are targeting MJ providers across the US as clients.
