The LP protects against this as well as losing everything in a potential law suit. 

Think through each aspect of a potential transaction, and how you will respond to the inevitable hiccups, problems, frustrations, and disappointments that occur in every start up business. 5.

Instead of tying up your capital in a high-cost primary residence, consider taking the would-be down payment and investing it in out-of-state properties.This strategy allows you to diversify your portfolio across multiple assets, spreading risk while potentially generating cash flow and building equity in appreciating markets.

@Saika Maeda Permitting the ADU allows you to claim depreciation, operating expenses, and other tax deductions, potentially reducing your taxable rental income.

but that's not investing.I've been making offers on potential BRRRRs this year and getting turned down. 

What are some pros that I can highlight from the seller’s perspective.Here are a few that I’ve come up with:1) monthly income at a higher interest rate;2) avoiding a larger tax bill by reducing the purchase price (on paper);3) a promissory note that they could potentially sell down the road.Any other major ones I am missing?

This Raymond St property caught our attention due to its affordable purchase price and potential for a high return after renovations.

Interesting in hearing feedback and pricing comparables to an off market potential deal where I have met the owner who is willing to sell his 3 units building (SFH with 2/2 and behind it an ADU with 2 other 1bed units and 2 car garage).

Hi @Tim Holt I think in general house hacking is usually a good move because it gets you off the sidelines and into the game with the most favorable financing possible (30 year fixed).There's a lot of value in getting started today vs waiting some undefined number of years until conditions are better, which could be a long time from now, because real estate is a business and the sooner you start actually learning about that business, the better.With all that said, I always recommend that people analyze any potential house hack as a pure investment that they aren't going to live in, because someday they may want to move out and you should know up front (before you commit) whether you're going to be able to do that, or whether you're overpaying and will be stuck in the property unable to move out because it'll be cash flow negative if you do.So you had it exactly right when you wrote, "the property would need to cash flow when I move out and rent out all units."

There are potentially 100% loans like VA foreclosures, and also depending on where you buy.
