This will be huge for house hackers out there. 95%LTV on 2-4 unit properties. Set to release on Nov 18th. Keep an eye on this.

Exactly 1 year later my first tenant moved his family in where his kids and dog can play in the massive yard while raising 2 cows in the barn.

The best way to learn about how to really invest in real estate is to read books, listen to good podcasts, and pair that with going to in-person meetups so you can see people just like you, married with 3 kids, who are making it work for them.

Are there any specific clauses I should include in a room-by-room lease for a shared living space?

The plan was to buy a warehouse, lay down turf and hard courts and lease the space to local schools and leagues and host tournaments.

Staying local and house hacking—especially now, before kids—gives you so much flexibility to set yourselves up for long-term success.Your financial foundation is super strong, and house hacking a quad sounds like an amazing first step for you two.

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting. 

And she's hardly saving money if she's using an electric space heater as the only source.

we are still doing deals in commercial but mostly in the retail/med space. 

I am a self-entrepreneur and know the importance of office space.
