Rent out one unit and live in the other.

This is someone who is trying to take advantage of foreign investors who want to own property in the United States.

in addition on the west coast we just don't really have zombie or boarded up houses.. at least not like other areas of the country we have a shortage of actual housing units.

They typically apply to 1-2-4 unit properties and need at least one year of occupancy.

Hi @Douglas Alexander, I've used the VA loan many times, but never for MFR.You can't use it for more than a 4-unit building, so 1-4 is OK, 5 or more... nope.Great plan though to house-hack it.Let me know how your research turns out ref. building from scratch.Could be an interesting idea... build like a 3/2 for your family and 3 more smaller units.Then when you move out, you can rent the 3/2 for more obviously and could earn some good cash flow.

We toured his units and he was horrible to his tenants.

You’ll be living in one unit and renting out the others— but with a bigger payday!

Seller had noted that 3 units where rented until 8/31/2025, and with the 4th unit being open I though it was the perfect opportunity.

If you can find opportunities like this to turn additional living space into a bedroom you can substantially increase your rent for the unit. feel free to reach out if you'd like; i'm an investor focused agent specializing in house hack opportunities.
