@Emily ShinHouse hacking a multi-family property is an excellent way to start investing in real estate, especially in a market like Columbus, Ohio, which offers affordability and growth potential.

As a student without W2 income, you may need to show alternative income sources like savings, freelance work, or a job offer.

A minimum of $1M in coverage provides added protection in case of major liability claims, though $2M–$5M offers even greater security depending on your situation.

International students make great tenants and typically stay 1-4 years. 

That's a typical scenario and could cost you $10,000 - $15,000 so that would be a good starting point for your reserve.But there's more!

We offer the mortgage investments to our investment group & service each loan. 

If there's anyone who can offer me some advice on the best way to get started with no capital but good credit, that would be great.

When I originally put my savings into Marcus, it offered the best APY rate at 0.5%. 

Your title, “new to real estate” may offer a key.  

Does anyone have experience with banks that offer these without fees?
