I'm gearing up for our first house hack as soon as possible which will most likely be 2nd or 3rd quarter of next year in the bay area. 

Here is a problem I am trying to overcome:My wife and I, with 3 other investors purchased a 108 unit in the first quarter of 2022.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

Is the seller/agent accountable if they list a property as a 4-3 but the renovation/addition of the fourth bed and third bath was not permitted work, therefor,  it is still a 3-2 in the tax records and the appraiser didn't count it? 

I would recommend investing within 10 miles of your current living quarters for your first investment.

Everyone else is either still there, or has kept it as a income property renting both sides and bought a single family home, which is now subsidized by the duplex income, or some (but only about a quarter) have bought one or more additional duplexes.

These are non-conventional mortgage loans with much friendlier qualification standards than traditional mortgages (no income verification, no tax returns, and most importantly, no DTI) and rates that were still very competitive (typically no more than half to three quarters of a percent higher than conventional).

Put multiple cameras over the register and the quarter machine.

Worst of it, we only get water bills every quarter, and mine was $900 above normal.
