If you can push up cash flow by renting one side and your spare rooms then I think that can be a viable option to live mortgage free, get some mortgage pay down and some cash.

As empty nesters, they weren’t ready to sell their large suburban home, but they had three spare bedrooms sitting empty.

I am thinking I will need a weed barrier, base stone, pavers and compacted top stone. 

I also have a LOT of other hobbies to fill spare time!

I recently bought a 1980's 3B/2B, and have been renovating it in my spare time.

I will be owner occupying this home and would like to house hack by renting the 2 spare bedrooms.

My house hack was buying a 5 bedroom 3 bathroom for $255k (there were multiple foreclosures on the street for this price at the time) and renting the 4 spare bedrooms for $2200 plus 4/5 utilities and paying a mortgage of $1500.

Therefore, what advice can anyone spare for getting a consultation with an attorney?

I'll spare y'all the full resume, but I'm passionate about everything real estate, and thrilled to now be able to contribute to a community that has given me so much knowledge and drive.Talk soon,Adam

At the beginning you will spend a truckload of time on it learning the ropes and getting everything running, so if you don't have spare time to dedicate to it the first 3-6 months then you will really need a total full-service PM that also handles bookings.
