While I’m based in California, I’m looking to begin house hacking a duplex, triplex, or quadplex in Houston, Texas, and build from there.I’m looking forward to continuing to learn, becoming a property owner, and taking full control of my time and life to eventually quit my 9-to-5.

This is what happens when you  listen on these deals month after month after month and eventually it starts to digest much easier :DHey, I do now have a question on this part:Also if you're using conventional financing, you will need to wait at least 6 months from your purchase date to use a new appraised value for a new loan.How can I avoid this if I were to do this?

They could fund some of the construction as well but eventually you would need to put in some of your own funds What you need is someone who is creative (like myself) to think out of the box to finance this deal.Happy to chat further

3) Eventually qualify for a mortgage and buy a home?

Don't need an LLC, which adds to the cost (for now since everything is in a trust and I have an umbrella policy for liability, eventually I will get an LLC where I can spread the costs out)I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this.

Take massive action, and eventually it pays off. 

This would also increase your cost basis of the property whenever you eventually sell.

Start small, learn to manage and operate, then you can see where you are eventually in the viability of firing your boss.

Excited to be able to learn and eventually be able to contribute. 

Hourly consultation is preferred, and the ability to eventually draw up the docs.
