As others mentioned can you afford the negative cash flow?

You can increase returns with leverage (that is a mortgage) or with value add (renovations, additions etc).I think cap rates (rents minus expenses divided by purchase price) on commercial and industrial is higher with less work involved, but its more expensive than I can afford--so I know next to nothing about that land.

Shared housing provides affordable, flexible rental options for young professionals, remote workers, and students.As shown above, co-living properties have more demand than traditional two-bedroom units and appeal to a wider tenant base.2.

MAYBE if owners like yourself weren't so cheap, PMCs could afford to pay their best employees more to keep them:)

In fact, one of my clients last year closed on a house hack near Keystone and turned a 5 bedroom single family home into a 6 bedroom house, and he is living in one room and renting out the 5 other rooms individually between $1,300-$1,400 per month per room because of the lack of affordable housing options up there. 

Use the information you have and determine what they can afford.

Focus on long-term rentals in affordable markets with reliable cash flow, and steer clear of high-cost flips, lower-class properties, or overleveraging in areas that rely solely on appreciation.Good luck!

My girlfriend and I are looking to get into Multifamily real estate investing and have also looked into the possibility of house hacking, although a good affordable property seems to be tough but not impossible in this area.
