I’m a broker in Tampa and I currently house hack myself and primarily work with other investors and individuals looking to house hack.

There are other lenders that will do that kind of loan, talk to a mortgage broker instead of a bank.2.

I'm working for a broker and real estate agent (as a contract handyman I'm not on their payroll)  who have recently become involved with rentals. 

@Raj SinghI agree with @Scott Scoville that it's important to check the leases to make sure the rents match what the broker or agent told you.

A local broker made all of his kids buy fourplexes as their first home. 

I would never loan my money the way you see it done with the Brokers.. they rely on 3 party appraisals and credit reports they Never or basically never even meet their client to eye ball them..

that said I have basically done what your talking about I personally could have hoarded and saved and so on and so forth .. but I chose to live in the Jet age and to me spending money on travel and experiences was as rewarding as what others are saving for to try to quit their day jobs.. but again I have been a real estate sales/broker since 18 so I have never worked for anyone anyway..

On the MLS, worked directly with the broker.

Since I was brokering the private money loan, I couldn't waive the late fee (which my lender still wanted) and the borrower was upset because ENS wouldn't eat the cost, which was a systems error on their part.

For BRRRRs, seasoning requirement would be a big hurdle as conventional generally has a 12 months seasoning now.If you're focused on building relationships, the best would be to find a reputable and reviewed lender/broker and talk to the account executives/originator.
