However, I’d like to have a space of my own before living with others again (I plan to house hack again with my next property).I’m seeking advice on how to move forward, as I need to consider things like utilities, taxes, landlord/umbrella insurance, and managing the property, especially with someone renting my garage.Specifically, I’m curious about renting out individual rooms and living on my own for a little while.

It makes sense now seeing that its more about ongoing duties after registration.Were I in a position to pursue syndication, I would certainly follow your advice and seek an attorney.

If not you might want to seek a different agent.

We're also seeking to buy a local (Raleigh / Durham) property management company to expand that business more rapidly.

My goal is to grow this business by expanding my investor network and seeking properties that will allow for additional scalability.
