The strategy I'm following for my first house hack is to acquire a multifamily property (duplex, triplex, quadplex) or SFH w/ an ADU (or potential for an ADU) as I am mainly looking to simultaneously acquire my first property and subsidize my mortgage payment.

The process takes about the same amount of time since an appraisal and title work is generally still required before underwriting and funding the deal. 

Welcome to the area! 

The patterns that I often see are the following  1.

I would say it could be done, just need to have the following:#1 - Have great overall knowledge of that market, and better than agents.#2 - Learn how to run comps so you know the value of the property better than anyone. #3 - Have finances in order (i.e) is this going to be bought through conventional, cash, HML, etc.

The seller receiving cash to reinvest or lend and the buyer to receive the payments on the thousands of loans within the MBS.

We need the cash to mostly just tie us over untill we sell the property, so 150,000 is on the upper end; 80,000 and above would probably be sufficient. 

Going to the events page above and seeing who is hosting meetups along with connecting with people at these meetups is a great way to grow your network of people within a small 25-50 mile radius.

And then the personal page host is listed as co-host.

Any follow up?
