I'm also a grad student so my financial situation is not actually the best and I'am currently enrolled in a credit repair program (hopefully that helps with potential loans if need be) so I was thinking that maybe NACA would be a great start to purchase a multi family to house-hack and product passive income.

You get to learn a TON about how your business should work, and will avoid losing loads of cash to a management company—they may be convenient but the good ones aren't cheap.Plus, it's not too hard to find good software and tools to help you out with managing, if you want something more solid than an Excel sheet and a contact list.

I think its the coolest loan product out there.

I was wondering if anyone knows a bank or credit union that offers a line of credit product on investment properties.  

Due to working abroad 6 years, I must rebuild my US credit (nearly excellent now) and build my work history ( nearly 6 months now). 2.

I do actual promotional products with my logo on it and pink Swag.

@Michael PlaksThank you for this excellent post and summary analysis.
