We're finally in a home where we're likely staying for awhile so our new investments are bought with investment loans, but for first-time homebuyer/house-hackers, it's a great way to get started.  

Fellow house hacker here and I've helped several other clients find house hacks.

Hi David - I"m an agent and former house hacker in DFW and i've probably helped around 50 or so people successfully find a great house hack!

(She also has a house hacking lease that she's drawn up for any Denver house hackers.)

As a fellow house hacker and introvert, I have had those uncomfortable conversations too.

In the 2nd scenario as a house hacker, you get the same benefits as a consumer but thinking as a business person you will get the additional benefits of depreciation on the ADU (A tax benefit); increasing the cash flow from the ADU as you raise the rent; If you decide to purchase another property while keeping your current property you will be able to cash flow all of it; eventually using 1031 exchanges to delay payment of taxes when it's time to purchase another investment property .......Bottom line- The house that you live in as a consumer will increase your wealth over time from appreciation, but real wealth will come from learning all of the benefits real estate investors take advantage of when it's treated as a business versus just being a consumer.

Hello,Can current FHA borrowers (house-hackers) apply for Fannie Mae's new 5% down-payment option to purchase another multifamily to buy as their second property?

Investors looking to pay 50-70% of market value.One thing I would suggest is potentially get at least one tenant on month-to-month so you could perhaps sell it to a house hacker. 

A court order, law enforcement of all types (yes you saw on TV how a dude gets his "police" friend to type in their search on anyone), tax people, mine government... then all the hackers who are already in these systems can ransomware or just post it on the internet.

We use this all the time for house hackers!
