My main focus is multi-family house hacking, but I’m open to other strategies as well.I’ve always had a passion for real estate and decided to move to a market with strong rental potential and affordability.

Digging down is a project I am just finishing up.... it is exhausting but potentially worth it.

My main question is whether it makes more sense to go the seller financing route and pay off the principal in 8–10 years or stick with a standard 30-year loan.My thinking is that the tax deductions from a mortgage wouldn’t outweigh the potential equity I could gain over those 8–10 years.

Look for properties with high cash flow potential, good condition, and room for improvement, such as value-add opportunities.

I've had a couple OOS investors ask about ADU potential in our market... not sure what hurdles there might be with the city (permitting, zoning, or otherwise).
