Just wanted to provide the BP community with some context on this thread...Our team provides affordable housing for residents in multiple states, and unfortunately sometimes we run into unruly residents.One such resident is Shawn Sheedy.

You can even have multiple DBAs. 

House hacking seems like the best strategy for me.My goal is to purchase a single-family home in Maryland, D.C, (from lurking I've heard D.C was terrible for investing) or Virginia with multiple rooms where I'm making monthly payments similar to what I pay in rent and other charges ($2000-$2500).

Brett, can you add to this DST "trust account", ie if I sell multiple properties in 2-4 transactions, can they be maintained in the same trust?

LOL but this route you have only 4 weeks to contact all the sellers MULTIPLE TIMES.- The golden rule in my group is the seller has to have a deal, the numbers work, be willing to sign, be willing to move out no later then 7 calendar days prior to the auction!!!!! 

I don't invest overseas, but I do invest in multiple markets across the U.S.

I am not saying everyone needs to pay for a mentor....there are multiple ways to get into the game.

Not all VA loans are owner-occupied as the VA gives you an allotment so you can have multiple properties with VA loans depending on what they clear you for.

Look at the results in multiple ways and over different time horizons.

You have multiple people living in each others spaces.
