I use the individual stackable units when I have space restrictions.

April is the only real low month.It's a funky place -- essentially a 5 room motel (originally built 1959) with a manager's unit (built 1984) tacked onto it. 

Final bit of advice: if you can, steer clear of house hacking and multi-unit. 

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

My plan is to live in one of the units while renting out the others.

I used half the HELOC ($160K) as a down payment on a 12-unit property, making my dad a 35% owner since we used his funds.

By effectively utilizing space, we can often increase the number of units or functional areas within a property without expanding its footprint.

My next step is to open a company in the United States, most likely in the state of Nevada.

The home will need some work, but I am excited about it.I would appreciate any recommendations for a reasonably priced insurance company for the unit while I am rehabbing it.

Both said the same thing to me (so I know a problem is brewing): "Nobody is allowed under the law to assist a seller in any way, while earning a  fee, commission, or profit from selling someone else's property without a license.
