@Nathan M kieferI recommend that you get professional financial/tax advice.

I'm going to do this tomorrow as I need those forms by Wednesday, but I'm trying to avoid wasting that money (although it's arguable that it's still a good deal).I've emailed support, but they did not respond within business hours today, so I thought I would ask on here.

@Erika Shiu House hacking with an STR is a smart strategy but ensures financial viability since your mortgage is over 50% of take-home pay.

Most will be 30yr fixed, but you're still going to need 20%+ down and will be 1-2% over what you see quoted as "today's 30yr fixed mortgage rate", which is usually the ballpark for someone buying a primary with 20% down and 780 credit. 

For savvy investors, the key to keeping more of your hard-earned returns lies in strategic planning and leveraging the right tools to minimize tax liability.Whether you're looking to reinvest in another property, take advantage of depreciation, or explore unique tax-deferral opportunities, there are powerful strategies available to help you reduce your tax burden and maximize your financial outcomes.

It requires some work—you’ll be a landlord after all—but the financial rewards can be significant.If you’re willing to live near your tenants, take on property management tasks, and want to grow your investment portfolio, this strategy could be a game-changer for your financial future.Final ThoughtsHouse hacking with a multifamily property is more than just a way to save on housing costs—it’s a proven method to accelerate your real estate investing journey.

You'd never even know what it had been today, and it's been one of my better rentals besides. 

They have really good prices on lots of the ring cameras today.

I would discuss financials on this if you choose to come see the pre-rehab on Dec 1 (I have made a lot of money (close to 7 digits after this rehab is done in ~2 months) but due to not executing a cash out refi (due to the rate increases) my return is below my underwriting).

The goal is to achieve and maintain financial freedom.
