Then just ask: Hey, since you moved out of state I was wondering what your intentions were with this house.

But by and large I like the construction as the sub trades are far more professional than most any one who is doing rehab work on houses..

@Madison SloanTo start house hacking, focus on saving for your down payment, researching target markets like Salt Lake City or North Idaho, and building a strong team of professionals, including an agent and lender.

You may use OPM to buy houses .

These are the key to getting a loan.  

Deductible expenses include renovation costs, loan interest, and holding costs.

There are tons of loans out there that use just the projected or actual income from a property vs the payment of the property (DSCR loans). 

Hi All,First time looking into Section 8 investment property in Berwick, ME. What is the experience with this program - Pro/Cons, watch outs, etc?.  Is there $$ to be made as an investor? Thanks in advance

If they say Service Link, find another house.

Hey @Dalton Foote - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.
