It is an awesome system and does everything for single and multi family management, makes our difficult job so much easier.

For example timber rights, which my family has done for more years than I can remember.

The owner representative (not an agent, just family) seems to not be a fan of this option because he does not understand it.Option 2: If option 1 does not work, or they are unwilling, the offer I see as valid for this property to make sense is about $290K plus taking over the solar loan.

Quote from @Rafael Ro: Hello all,I would really appreciate your insights here.I live in CA and have a family with 2 kids - we're not moving anywhere.

The 4-plex may be viable if zoning allows it but building another single family is probably not the move.

if you are worried about vacancy, then multi-family is what you should go for.

I don't think you are going to be able to get insurance for two separate living units in a single-family when they are both illegal and likely do not have the correct egress windows (basement) for fire safety which could subject you to huge liability if something happens to either party.

I'm just getting started in real estate and am currently working with my realtor to get my first house hacking property, possibly a 3-4 multi family home in Pittsburgh.

For family life, there are great communities with good schools and a lot of kid-friendly activities.

Especially a great GP team...can't go wrong with the BAM Family IMO.
