I know that I will only occupy a unit for a limited time, and the house-hack is just a way to get more favorable rates, better loan terms, and elminate, or severely decrease my housing costs today.I am sure there is someone on BP who has built some wild spreadsheet, or other model where you can actually calculate the value of no mortgage, but for me, as long as I am covering most, or all of my PITI while I am occupying a unit, and the deal works as a stand-alone investment deal, then I am done running numbers. 

The business model in itself is a lot more forgiving.

@Wendy Carpenter I do not have expertise to share but congrats on the deal and faking it till you make it!

How do I find a property management company for Airbnb that offers master lease model?

I think the business model you described above is the next great investment model in Sacramento and the Bay Area.I am currently working to build an ADU at my downtown home in San Jose.

Stanley's belief is that Beta women tended to make these bad first choices because they don't have good father figures as role models for future husbands, and they spent too much of their youth studying and not enough time engaged in the courtship rituals Alphas tend to go through more regularly.

So use their expertise and the more you do this, the more you will start to learn the techniques and patterns yourself.

There may be some ongoing cash flow but I'd model in a whole bunch of conservative estimates: i.e. higher vacancy, rehabbing, much higher than normal capex/maint, etc. and then ask yourself if it's the type of investment that you'd want to sign up for (C- or D class I'm guessing... in terms of ongoing headaches).  

I happen to only finance projects that are rentals that my gcs partners do the work on, so I have a somewhat unique business model.

I feel like I’m very blessed and lucky to be in my current situation and that I could be better utilizing my financial situation to build real wealth instead of clawing away at it annually via W2 wage income only (and saving only ~$70k/year).Unfortunately when I model out deals, with today’s cap rate environment, I can’t find anything that generates meaningful levered free cash flow.
