I rented out the additional bedrooms to friends and family, charging them well below market, and sold when it was time for my wife and I to start our own adventures.

I see a disservice being provided in the given example by the real estate agent by not bringing creative strategies on both the sellers and buyers position on this particular deal.

Some used more creative ways to handle the needs but it is still a capital call and dilutes the return (if anything left). 

That being said if you are willing to start with a smaller property or have more cash reserves than we did as we were preparing for our wedding you can make the deals happen you just have to be creative with it. 

I’m weighing two options for our housing situation and would greatly appreciate your advice, given the complexities involved.1.Renovate and Buy Another Property•Invest to renovate our current home adding a bedroom to the house given our family outgrew the house.

Currently, this past 2 weeks I've been doing his and Pace's creative fiance series and when I tell you these people are just truly a blessing to the industry it's almost hard to put my gratification into words.

Each county in the US has S8 rent limits per bedroom, set by HUD.

I have a shop on my property that has a one bedroom apartment.House Hacking that for $800/mo.

Compare other rentals with a similar size, location and bedroom count to get an estimate of what the rent would be while you're living there.

You can convert the library and the famil room into bedrooms, giving you 7bed/5bath.Mortgage could be around $3,000 per month.
