Answering your phone calls while watching the games does not turn your living room into a home office.14-day free rent aka Augusta rule loophole.

I currently live outside the US and am planning to move back in a few years.

Hi real estate friends,My wife and I recently bought our first home in Co springs area close to garden of the gods and other attractions in the area. to no surprise our interest rate is a whooping 7.1%, the main house has 4 - BD 2 B. our mortgage is $4009. the property we bought has an attached dwelling unit on the side of it, completely independent from the main unit we live in, we are currently renting it out for 2 years for a tenant for $1545, It has one bedroom one bath.My question is what are some ways to scale especially since in the current market (is kind of almost impossible)?

The small multi family space (4-20 units) seems to be less crowded, but those deals can be hard to manage unless they’re within a couple of hours from where you live so you could manage or turn it yourself if you had to. 

So, people do what those wanting to live in Manhattan or San Francisco have been doing for 60 years, splitting rent on the “pad”.  

I've been dabbling for the last year or so in the residential world doing side projects, helping friends and family with renovations on their personal homes and managing my own live-in flip. 

I'm Josh Herman and I live in Southern California.

The lower rate decreases my monthly expenses, increases cash flow, or gives me a higher LTV.Increasing Rents with Co-Living:I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

I am a contractor and we live in a great neighborhood so the house would be a great investment if we can purchase at the right price. as it sits the house is prob worth 100-150k.
