Seems there's been some reorganization and my investor relations contact from Four Peaks moved on. 

In all honesty, it will be difficult to collect anything from the tenant after they move out and you cannot force them to stay.

If you’re just starting or want to minimize risk, house hacking is a killer move—grab a duplex, live in one unit, rent the other, and let it pay down your mortgage while you scale up.

You do have to manually move people from Furnished Finder to your system.

Ironically most people MOVED to the area from somewhere else and then wanted to slam the door shut behind them...   

im looking to get into a house hack in either there or venice, or even palmetto, still just looking but would like to be educated when i do decide to make the move, any tips are appreciated, also if you need any help let me know!

*The HELOC rate and my high yield cash savings rate are both variable so will move with the market.

If the market moves against you, it takes too much capital to fix it.Contrast that to this scenario:  let’s say that the acquisition loan was 60% LTV originally, and after a market drop of 30% the loan is now 85%.  

I used to be a landlord and flipper in New Zealand until a couple of years ago when I liquidated my portfolio and moved out here to Pittsburgh.

Thanks again to everyone who is reaching out I feel confident that I will be able to move forward with at least one of the contacts made since my initial denial.
