These are things at the high level I want to be looking at for all my real estate purchases. 

Looking to net 4 figures a month in cash flow with this unit - the goal is to close 7 more by the end of the year - let's see how it goes. 

I'm still focusing on small multi-families mainly 3-4 units.

I do not recommend this level of tax fraud as the consequences can be serious.good luck

.✔️ Your house hack is more than a 2-unit property and requires more oversight.✔️ You’d rather pay for peace of mind and legal compliance.Final ThoughtsIf you’re house hacking a small multi-unit (like a 2- or 3-flat) and are comfortable being hands-on, self-managing can be a great way to save money and learn the business.

Hello Justin,  I want to start with multi-family buildings with 5-9 units max.

St Cloud MN Duplex, list/purchase price $259,900market rents $1,610 per unit BUT yes, if one really wanted to sec8 income standards are $1,957 per unit so one could go that direction if wanted be.

You could also try looking up money judgements filed against local businesses at the magistrate level and target them with direct mail or driving for dollars. 

@Charles Evans, definitely keep all paperwork associated with your tenant (lease, receipts, etc).For expenses that are not split per unit but are for the entire structure (utilities if not separately metered, mortgage interest, etc), keep a record of those payments so your tax pro can deduct a percentage of them for the unit you're renting.
