It could take years of sacrifice and saving to get into this game and most people don't want to wait that long.  

If you don't/won't have WiFi then you should either consider a SimpliSafe system that you can move around from house to house, or some type of Trail cameras like hunters use for identifying game areas.

Thank you Nick - unfortunately it is the name of the game in this space that there will be people with bad experiences, typically when the appraised value doesn't come in as what they expect and they lash out at the lender accordingly (anyone in this space obviously understands this occurrence). 

Forums and meetups like BP have changed the game for my family for generations to come AND for generations for people in our homes. 

I’m not in the game yet, but I’ve been diving into this to prepare for my first multi-family deal.

For example, in higher-end or luxury markets, where the price point is much higher, full-service staging can be a game-changer.

I am new to the game and using the FHA loan has just seemed to be the most common way to house hack (at least in terms of what the resources I have read have said). 

Do you have a particular system or software that’s been a game-changer for you?

The odds of default go up significantly for those who have no skin in the game.

Very new at this game I live in cottonwood California and I would be interested in going to meet up if my schedule would allow.
