If you make it to Memphis, we invest pretty heavily in the youth club game down here and our non-profit, Cancer Kickers Soccer Club, is the first non-profit to be on the jersey of a professional soccer team, 901 FC of the USL. 

I was heading down a similar path and fortunately I cancelled my contract and forfeited my deposit. 

Makes sense to keep 60-80% LTV debt on rentals (to me).I will add;  I'm fortunate enough to invest in a lower cost higher performing rentals state of GA and I do advocate buying at DSCR of >1.5 absolute min and my typical was 1.7 and due to rent appreciation all are over 2.0.   

I was in a similar position a few years ago, but fortunately got married and our combined incomes helped us qualify for a larger house hack.We're on our second one in NOVA, Alexandria to be exact, and instead of rent by the room, we are renting out our walkout basement on Airbnb to monthly guests.That said, we have a number of friends doing well with rent by the room across NOVA, though they're purchasing homes with 5+ rooms or finding homes that can be renovated to include that setup.I'd recommend attending meetups such as the one I cohost, NOVA REI or Cashflow Breakfast Club or any of the others to meet those who are house hacking.

Fortunately it was a location with a PSF of ~$1.5k, so I added more than $100k of valuation (suspect I may not have quite achieved my $2 added for every $1 spent).But the bigger issue I see, if I add $200k of equity at hopefully a cost of no more than $100k it seems like maybe a good brrrr but what if it has expenses on a sustained hold that results in negative $1k/month?  

My best advice is to meet your lenders face-to-face at real estate clubs, conferences, or other professional events.

Now consider this: all the groups people are spending fortunes to target—foreclosures, absentee owners, probate leads, tax liens—what do they have in common?

The community has its own internal lake, which connects to Lake Toho, via a boat lift owned by the community club.

If you own one rental, you are part of the exclusive 6% club.
