If you can live rent-free in a 2-4 family, that would be the best way to go.

So, some of your issues could be patched with a bandaid for a tenant, instead of a total kidney transplant. 

They never follow through, do very low quality work and are drawing you out to allow them to live rent free for as long as possible before eviction. 

It wasn’t the best living space but very comfortable and the best perks is you can essentially live rent free have first hand experience on controlling your asset aswell as dealing with tenants.

**Buying it for almost 20% undervalue; instant equity**househacking it; I keep 100% of my BAH; I live rent/mortgage free**executing a live in flip; force appreciation into the units creating more equity and increase rents which increases cashflow.

For example, find a good duplex, move in one half, and rent out the other side to basically live rent free.

I've been in Maine for the last 4 years and went to school here for 5 years before that so I guess I'm a transplant at this point.
