Question is am I comfortable with the 1% risk.One other "buffer" is that many of the properties I'm involved with I have a co-owner on the deed, so those properties are somewhat protected from liability from other properties on which they are not owners.I love the idea of putting properties in different entities and "shutting it down" if something goes south and continuing on with my other entities.

I turned the front room into a co-working area and put several desks and a couch.

Absence of a CO detector is a significant safety issue and is usually directed by the fire department.

And please don’t suggest a co-signer - I have just a sister as family. 

I'm also a COS investor, so Hi! 

So, the house hacker would be a co-owner/borrower and would fulfill the residency requirement.

Luckily, the city I purchased the home in does not require a CO.  

House Hack on a two to four unit residential building, assuming it allows a low deposit FHA loan (3.5%) with a co-investor.  

For an agent running a team, like he does, who has a nationwide reach as a co-host of a popular podcast he has so much opportunity to build a additional lucrative, passive stream of  income.

Of course, with every opportunity comes a cost and that is what I'm trying to get a better idea on before setting up a consultation with a co-investing platform.
