I'm now finally here in person, and have started to go view places in person with the intent of purchasing. 

Hi Bruce, i'll start by saying i'm a mortgage person, so please understand the context in which my response is coming from. you'd need to create CC&Rs/bylaws and establish an HOA in order to do this.

Quote from @Dereck Olson: Hi Nicholas,  Just a thought from the possible tenant's perspective, but filling out a prequalification form and/or providing personal information before they have even seen a place and know if they will be interested in living in the property might be a bit too much to ask. 

House hacking is the BEST way to get into real estate investing and that's how I personally got started as well too.

For example, they won't need to cover your personal belongings (furniture, clothing, etc.) because you won't be living there.A landlord policy should cost about the same as a homeowner's policy; it just changes what is covered.

You now don't seem like the type of person most of us would accept a recommendation from.

Now we are in 2025 and although I still own the trucking company, it has been an inconsistent pit that has technically brought me personally no profit.

Also, would this loan help build my personal credit, or would it only report to business credit bureaus under my LLC?

I personally interact with each and every guest.

NOT judging, I am truly curious the mindset's of such persons.
