Pretty much any way I can add value I will do it even if its a 50k house that will require that I put in hours and hours of work because investor clients are typically return customers. 

Let the realtor and lender know your plan of finding a house hack - typically a duplex or fourplex but can still be done in a single family if your plan is to have roommates that live with you.

Colorado does allow super liens, but typically, for them to remain enforceable after foreclosure, they would need to be properly filed before the foreclosure process begins.

With that being said, there are brokerages who focus on multi-family investments and those typically will focus on Duplexes and up.

Real estate activities are typically considered passive activities, and the IRS restricts passive losses to offsetting only passive income.

Most of my customers who own their own land typically use Fannie Mae since it offers a ower Dp for 2-4 units and the guide lines are more lienant. 

Typically you do not need to give 60 day notice, more like 3 days....law says one thing, but judges may not always follow the law, so I say send it to the tenant, send another certified with return receipt, AND post it on the back the of the front door or give it to them in person.   

I typically like to use a solid surface over formica more for maintenance and longevity.

@Raphael RamosLending to someone is interest income just like interest income in your checking or savings account - it’s typically taxed at ordinary income ratesI am not sure I understand the question if it’s deductible?

Hi Amit I intentionally chose to ignore vendors that were not transparent with their pricing, since those typically fall into enterprise grade solutions that were outside of the scope of this analysis.
