If you allow this to continue, they will only get worse over time, and your losses will increase.I suggest you hire an attorney.

Multi family properties will cashflow the best (unless you are bold enough to rent by the room).

Just a heads up this will not be tax free, it will be a pro-rated exclusion.

Maybe an investor is flipping a lot of properties and you could offer to pick up and deliver materials to his crews, clean the work sites every night, bring his crew lunch, or whatever.Find a way to make yourself useful to them, and they will reciprocate.

The biggest question you need to ask yourself is if you are doing this to afford a property you otherwise couldn’t afford or to save money period, that will lead to very different conclusions about where/if to buy. 

The conversation with city officials will continue as we push for zoning reforms that allow sustainable and affordable housing solutions.This win is a step forward, but there’s still work to be done!

Also, I'm not sure how you're paying attention to it on the tax side, but the unit that you are living in's profit at sale is calculated differently than the other unit that you're renting out.Once you move out, that unit is officially available for rent so from that point forward, any profit gained at future sale will be calculated starting from that point and will be taxable.

I will say no from a renter's experience. 

Utilize any hospitals and insurance companies that are willing to take your call.

Hi Sandra, as soon as you can estimate the amount of gain you will recognize from the flip you should pay an estimated tax on that amount.
