Working on my first house hack, I was just wondering how everyone got their first house hack and how that process went for everybody.

Last thing I want is any additional government friction in any processes, much less investing.

You’ll need a decent printer, quality paper, envelopes, and time to process everything, plus the patience for repetitive tasks.Outsourcing, while more expensive, saves a ton of time and ensures a professional look.

@Aubrey Adams-Thanks for the post / question -I would recommend developing a hypothetical plan  ( purchase price / loan amt needed ) and get pre approved ..this process is free and it will help get you organized and also to educate you  in many ways ..if you never end up buying - no worries and no costs have been wasted 

Hi I have a friend who is buying his first duplex using a VA loan he’s in the process of evicting a tenant because he needs to move into one of the units but is having problems the tenant is on a month to month lease and he gave her a 30 day notice to leave.

@Sean Anthony to us, this situation is really no different than a nonpaying tenant.We try to work with tenants, as "life happens", while keeping pressure on them by moving forward with the eviction process.

Most owners/GP/sponsors just review reports and re-process internally with staff.Serving PMs and investors is a much bigger market...

(I was communicated that their was a kitchenette permit pulled for the garage by my real estate agent during the purchase process. )Any suggestion for temporary solutions for this would be greatly appreciated.

I have a team of 60+ vendors that have gone through a 5-step vetting process.

Though, this process will be the same for the other state (if you created a CA LLC you may need to register it as a foreign LLC in the state in which you are doing business/holding property).
