It'll take time but can really pay off if you stick with it.I'm in Los Angeles and I've investing in TN and GA in the past, and currently investing in SE Wisconsin (your area).Let's connect and discuss the market.

Probably a quarter of the buyers we work with are house hackers.

My preferred method to a less-than-stellar review is to flip the f*** out. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Of course my nosey self had to go look up your rental property.

They require you to elaborate on draw requests and basically lay it out for them which can make the process very frustrating.

Plus new folks do a very poor job of screening the buyer for Ability To Repay (ATR) which involves pulling full doc and calculating the borrowers DTI, honest income, honest debt payments, prior debt payment histor (FICO) etc etc.Plus shockingly (or shocking to sellers) if you bought this investment house, fixed it, then are selling with financing you are selling "inventory" and y9ou owe taxes on the gain in the year of sale, you are NOT able to use installment sale to spread out paying taxes. 

This is a great case of how anyone can house hack.

Currently, I have a weekly check in with my current contractor, but alot of time it is a chasing game.

Choosing the right lender for a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) can make a huge difference depending on your goals.
