I talked to Padsplit and they manage SFHs renting each room to different tenants - the total rent is more than renting it out to one household.

There are online platforms like Rentable.com that will handle opening the correct accounts / all compliance tasks related to managing deposits 

Quote from @Kevin Brown: Hi,We own and manage two AirBnb's. 

Whether you spend time networking, reading books, watching videos or connecting on bigger pockets or if you spend cash hiring a mentor, maybe partnering up with or doing free intern work for a real estate investor; whichever route you decide to go investing in yourself is one of the best investments you can make. 

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.

One challenge to manage is being able to clarify for lenders on those rentals (if you have them) which amount of the premium should be paid for each rental so that they do not include the entire premium into their escrow analysis, inflating your monthly payment on that rental. 

I’m inclined to hire a property management company, but still considering all options.Problem is - the property is UNIQUE.

Here’s what I know so far:My father-in-law is offering to finance the property purchase, but I’m still clarifying whether that means 100% financing or if he expects a down payment.We haven't yet decided whether to purchase as individuals or through an LLC.I’m also in the process of discussing the specific terms with him (monthly payments, amortization, balloon payment, etc.).Could you share any advice or insights on what deal structure might work best in a scenario like this?

I will be here for 6 months to a year and looking to continue hands on support/experience.I am a construction manager and have a lot of background in contractor management, site scheduling, and quality control.

I was on the site and decided to look at my discussions and saw you updated it.
