@Gabriella Swan, with your management experience already in place, house hacking seems like a perfect entry into real estate.

The good news is that this is the perfect hidden health and safety inspection item with which to negotiate a price reduction.

Perfect - do your best to make the floors as even as new construction.

Like, the perfectly zoomed close-up.

Since you mentioned REI Hub, I worked with REI Hub in the past and they had the same connection issues but their CEO is usually good about making quick updates to create a better user experience.That being said, there is no perfect solution out there regarding bank feed connections so I'd go with one you know and ensure the accounts are linked on a weekly basis to be confident every transaction is flowing through without interruptions.

Hello,My wife and I recently found a property that fits all of the things we are looking for, perfect location, price, rooms, etc. except for one problem: The previous owner was a smoker :( Does anyone have experience buying/renting out/living in a home previously owned by smokers?

That is exactly what traction helps you do that @Chris Seveney pointed out.It doesn't have to be perfect, but just getting something down on paper will be a huge help - at least, that's what I found when I started our Chicago general contracting business.  

With your balance sheet and cash, you can put together creative deals without giving up equity and without using your cash but you are going to need to find a market and product which has 7-8% cap rates.I invest in the northeast, Great Lakes area.Diverse economies with education, healthcare as the back bone and tech as growth.In your area, you’ll have to raise way more capital in the form of equity just to meet DSCR with the banks.

I've offered to send the spreadsheets to anyone who wants them - haven't said a WORD about money.I've made no bones at all about why it works - that's my whole point, actually.... but, keep trying to find fault.

It's not a perfect solution, but for us, we don't change the availability of a unit until we have a signed contract.
