Does it still provide effective results?

Can you please provide the names of those that will do one?

I considered starting out house hacking a MF, but it will only increase my monthly expenses, not lower them or provide cash flow. 

Even after one year, that property may provide thousands of dollars worth of appreciation, you will pay down your loan and build some equity, and you can depreciate the asset. 

My focus is shifting from cash flow to equity management as well as our portfolio mix.

While it provides opportunities for buyers who may not qualify for traditional loans, it's important to ensure affordability and long-term sustainability.

I like the location and the price is 650kFor mixed use properties as you describe (and I'd assume is located on SW 10th St.), I'd recommend that the residential units fully cash flow the loan as my experience is that mixed use properties are tougher to finance as most lenders tend to prefer one or the other and something in the middle gets more difficult.For example, and granted I don't know anything about the area/neighborhood, I would expect this property (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/111-NW-Har...) to be easier to finance than the mixed-use property you mentioned. 

A mix of short- and long-term strategies could hedge against market shifts.Borrowing allows you to scale faster, especially if you can secure favorable terms.

This will provide you experience, a story to tell, and the credibility needed for adding additional clients.I'm happy to discuss more.

It is located in some of the newest developments on the north side of Katy, TX 77493 (I am not sure if I can post a link to the Zillow page or provide the address because I don't own it yet).
