Tax accountants, investor friendly agents, 1031 exhange experts etc.

It probably be best as a friends-and-family type loan, but I don’t have anyone around me that is an appropriate lender.If I have to, I can put the funds in myself, but its inconvenient, and would come from investments that would need to be sold, taxed, etc.

Time is money and I prefer spending my time with my fam and friends instead of problem tenants and legal cases. 

Or you can sell it, split the equity, and go separate ways.I'm not a fan of borrowing from family/friends unless all parties are honest and everything is documented in a written contract.

Just wanted to say a warm and friendly hello to all in the community.

I was in a similar position a few years ago, but fortunately got married and our combined incomes helped us qualify for a larger house hack.We're on our second one in NOVA, Alexandria to be exact, and instead of rent by the room, we are renting out our walkout basement on Airbnb to monthly guests.That said, we have a number of friends doing well with rent by the room across NOVA, though they're purchasing homes with 5+ rooms or finding homes that can be renovated to include that setup.I'd recommend attending meetups such as the one I cohost, NOVA REI or Cashflow Breakfast Club or any of the others to meet those who are house hacking.

Are you trying to hand your “friend” a 50% taxable gain that you’re going to keep?

After a year or two we intend to buy a larger property in the same area and partner with some friends on it but I do believe a boots on the ground person employed only by you is KEY to executing anything if you are not in the country yourself.

In my area, I see a big need for a " military friendly" resource in the real estate market.
