Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Ten years ago they got it re zoned for high density , the neighbors fought it and it got delayed for 2 years .

Find a balanceIf you're open to learning, start with TurboTax this year and see how comfortable you feel.

The population and property appreciation have grown year over year, along with rising rents, which suggests strong demand for housing.

I saw a notice on the door from the city and I tried to get some info on the owner but it looks like an investment company has owned it for several years but no one has been in there.

@Shaun OrtizMy first deal 19 years ago started as kind of a mess, but I got it cash flowing after a few months.

I work with a ton of new investors as a realtor the #1 way to get started is just find a 2-4 unit in decent shape and buy it low down with conventional financing 5-10% then you can live in it for a year and do another next year.

I have personally house hacked for over 10 years and continue to do it to this day, right here is St.

Make sure you do your due diligence or work with a licensed broker.
