In an effort to get creative and try our hands in a new strategy and gave MTR's a crack and pivoted the deal.

My dad was a builder (but has now passed) and I just think this makes so much sense but need to find access to the knowledge and potentially an investor/creative financing to do the rest.Anyone who could offer any advice/time/links to info would be greatly appreciated. 

Most wives aren't on board with this strategy, but there are other creative ways to house hack besides the typical rent-by-room example.

https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...It will take a creative strategy or a combination of creative strategies to actually cash flow.Same thing here in Pittsburgh. 

Hard/Private money, creative financing, etc...

Personally, I would look into using creative finance.

I’m looking forward to making connections for creative financing, advice on rentals, and just overall rapport with others on the same track. 

@A H.you may get people chiming in with advice on Kansas City or other out of state markets that they want to recommend to you, but I am going to be blunt.it is very, very difficult to cash flow right now unless you are using some kind of creative strategy (or combination of strategies).you might be able to use your HELOC to buy 1-2 properties... but if you use a HELOC for the DP + a mortgage, that will likely be so expensive that you won't cash flow at all and will be negative every year.

How might I work around this and creatively structure it such that I can buy it this year and she doesn't have to pay tax on it until 2025?
