I’m in the process of searching for land in the Houston area to then build a 4-plex on it.The plan is to self-fund the purchase & construction, rent the units and cash out with a mortage.I like the idea of serving lower income families and therefore don’t shy away from section 8.This is the first time I do something like this, so I’m throwing it out there in hopes of hearing your thoughts and learning from your experience!

@Christian Gibbs appears you're throwing good money after bad:(How did you come to own this house?

Just don't change your address to your parent's house, that would throw up a red flag. as long as that remains your primary and you aren't renting it out for at least a year after purchase, there shouldn't be any issues. 

Once judgment is granted can i just throw all his stuff in the trash or do i have to keep it for awhile? 

I feel like they are not very liquid so only throw a couple of thousand on the platform.

I was estimating the ARV at 160-165k which I don't know what it will be for sure but I'm a little worried it might be less which throws a wrench in things as well.

When we pointed it out to Hilany, she said that was due to getting people over there, coordinating assemblers, setting up the furniture, cleaning up and throwing away the material, etc.

If you find yourself throwing a punch in a street fight, you've already lost.

That's like throwing your money into a can of gasoline and hoping it survives a possible spark. 

In my opinion, house hacking is the easiest way to get into the RE game with the lowest money out of pocket...plus if you throw in a renovation loan like the 203k or homestyle, you can boost your worth quickly!
