If you can offset most of the cost (or all of it) by "house hacking" you can save up that extra money for the next investment.In your case since you've already saved up almost a 20% down payment you could use those extra funds on another deal quickly. 

Let's say your average renovated purchase price or all in price renovated & purchase is $35k.

Which one is better if you can get the loan at 3.5% and use your savings to buy more deals do you guys put as little down or all that you can down?

They have squatters, or all the piping and wiring has been pulled out, or the listing is fraudulent.

Is it an oral month to month tenancy or written?

The boyfriend admitted orally to me during the showing that he has never been on a lease ( he is about 40 years old. :(  Do I have to confirm this?

Also, i usually will add it to the OPTION agreement (not the rental agreement)  that the tenant will pay anything up to $X  maybe more like $2500 in this price range or all of it - however you can't MAKE them do the repairs as they are still a tenant - but you can put in there that if they don't do the repairs and you need to do them that you will add the expense to the purchase price plus a certain % return (make sure it is a legal rate) - or some of my friend will do the repair but the stipulation is it voids the option agreement - I personally think that is too harsh and unfair so I lease option by adding it to their purchase later should a repair be needed and they can't afford it. 

If a conversion makes sense for the investor, there would be the secondary question of whether to do individual properties incrementally over time or all at once.If the properties are held directly by an IRA custodian, there would be paperwork and re-titling to move the properties from the current traditional IRA to a new Roth IRA. 

It appears most or all of these would not apply to most investors (e.g. homestead exemptions, exemptions for owners over 65, etc.). 

I’m just doing a BRRRR on tri plex, had to pay cash for the building and rehab.Then when it’s appraisal ready should get 70% loan to ARV Or all the cost, whichever is lower.
