Househacking with  a family is rough because of privacy issues.. but you can try a duplex etc

Yes, look at properties in Galveston, 6102 Sea Wall Blvd, Galveston, this complex allows STR's, we can do STR no seasoning DSCR loans if you are interested.

I immediately printed out your template message and taped to the wall next to my desk.

Built in 1890, this Old Victorian was converted into a duplex in the 70's by a talented architect who made some unique and extraordinary custom design choices (read Vaulted Sunlights) that make this property truly one of a kind.

I have a duplex where the plumbing was getting backed up.Had a plumber go out there and put a camera in the lines and turns out there are roots growing into the plumbing from a nearby tree.The quote to rip out and replace the plumbing was a staggering number.My thought is to cut down the tree to stop the growing and then eventually put the liner in the plumbing.Any experience with this?

We wanted to buy it and build a duplex or SFH to rent out.

For a first time OOS investor, I'd suggest buying a single-family or duplex LTR to make sure whatever market you choose is a good fit.

I sometimes wish i bought a duplex as my first property instead of a SFR but hey.

None on ceiling, walls, bathroom, etc.

I have a duplex that I'm house hacking in the forest acres area of Columbia.
