Quote from @Fakaradin Floyd: @John Underwood I would love to do this but where I live sadly there aren't any lower end inexpensive houses I've already tried this and have put in over 5 offers for houses and lost to bidding wars everytime hence why I'm choosing this strategy. 

I ma here to learn and I will not pick and choose how those lessons are presented to me!

Then use the extra roommate rent income to pay down your mortgage and look to refi to a lower payment in the future (3-5 years) - so it cashflow when you move out.You could also choose the smaller unit and STR the other unit to generate more cash to pay down your mortgage and refi, so it cashflows when you move out.Bottom line: you'll have to get creative to solve your cashflow challenge!

If I have one property at or around market, I would choose to keep in the same or raise it a little.

I would choose the option I'm most excited about and can get behind!

I have been eyeing a few brokerages around that general location and was wondering if anyone familiar with the area had any recommendations regarding which brokerage to pick, as there are quite a few to choose from.

Also, I would want to see Line 14 SE shown as 0 no matter whether it's reported as Line 1 income or Line 4 guaranteed payments.Good luck in pursuing with AHP if you choose to go that route.
