And if/when ready to liquidate some and step up into bigger $ play where it can be a win-win. 

Congratulations on this next big step!

Hi Ilina,I understand that taking the next step can feel a little intimidating, but you’re definitely in the right place!

Educate yourself with resources like The House Hacking Strategy and practice analyzing deals using tools like BiggerPockets calculators.

in a vast interview process with many steps before allowing someone to move in. a new roomie is an everyone-decision, not a landlord-only decision; if you're expecting people to co-exist in a space together (for longer than just a few months), you have to make sure they all have some things in common, or at minimum have the right expectations in terms of cleanliness and routine habits.someone working the night shift and someone else having a 5am rise-time, or someone who works from home in a call-center job is not going to jive well for example. and someone who doesnt handle conflict well is not going to jive with someone who is brutally honest and up front about issues. happy to go into more deets on how we do things if it will help. this can certainly be lucrative in terms of cash flow, but there are huge mud puddles i have stepped in over the years which i have had to learn to navigate.

There's no need to change business practices because of what these guys have done.

Perhaps an installment sale will also achieve what you want if you can keep their income below a rate thrshold. if they are sensitive to capital gains, then think through options where you can get it stepped up. 

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

Builders are stepping up to meet demand, and buyers are taking advantage of opportunities in new construction that they simply can’t find in the existing-home market right now.

Hi Simon,Scaling from single-family to multifamily is a solid move, and a 10-15 unit building is a great next step.
