I'm seeing house hack, buy a primary and rent out the ADU on AirBnb or the ultimate house hack, owner lives in the tiny ADU and AirBnb both levels of the main house in San Francisco. 

Incorporating a washer-dryer hookup in the main house could be advantageous.This addition not only increases the convenience for potential renters but also adds value to the property itself.

Why intentionally put yourself in the tank with the potential of that deficit being much wider than you anticipate?

For the main house, I'd get a washer and drier. 

As a licensed Real Estate Broker in Maine, I managed the acquisition and renovation of 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, leveraging my expertise and industry knowledge.

I mainly am curious how people have raised capital for their first properties. 

I joined for 2 main reasons: 1.

I know that’s not the only reason to invest in real estate but simply put it’s what I’m mainly looking at and In the markets I am currently looking at, it look like regardless of str, mtr, and ltr, I’ll be cash flowing around 150-300 a month.

I have been investing mainly in trust deeds but like you got connected with Dave and just recently ended up investing in his fund, my primary reason was for diversification and because it is passive. 

If you’re set on Florida, focus on areas just outside the main city that are still growing—you’ll find better deals there.
