Co-living is how I went from renting a room, Delivering Dominos, no savings, and not being able to qualify for a loan to financial freedom & a $2M net worth in 15 months.

How do you define financial freedom?

Context:I’m seeking advice from those experienced in real estate investing and financial freedom strategies.I recently bought a multi-family property in Newport, RI, using my VA loan for $695K.

NMLS call center said they have no problem with it but it strikes me as odd that the MU4 filing requires you to disclose other 'financial related activity'. 

If the property doesn’t make sense financially as an annual rental, it’s probably not the right investment.

So I would caution everyone to make sure the replacement cost for your improvements will realistically cover your actual replacement cost in the event of a total loss.

Repairs made while the property is your primary residence are not deductible, but improvements can increase your cost basis, reducing future capital gains tax when you sell.
