From what I’ve seen most probably aren’t likely to let me do 0 down but that’s the goal 😉I’ve been toying with the idea of doing some syndication and asking family/friends as well but asking people for their money when I have no experience ,just book knowledge from the good old internet, gives me anxiety.

The key principals are:- Minimize inventory to reduce market risk: Zillow didn't do this. 

But I do want to send purchase and sale agreements to agents without a buyers agent so i can reduce the price of the home.

I already have a lender just want to keep the CAP rate up, which a 10% PM fee would reduce it significantly. 

If you are in a high tax bracket you can use RE in ways to help reduce your taxes.

7c ) Can I split the acquisition cost and therefore reduce or eliminate any risks to my personal net worth?

The object of the game is to reduce/eliminate your cost as low as possible while maintaining positive CF, and let your tenant pay for the rest from the rent. 

If you can qualify comfortably and are willing to take the risk, then jump.Another option is to get into contract to purchase the new house, close and then sell the existing one which mitigates (reduces) the risk of owning two properties in a market that may decrease in value.

House hacking = anything that reduces the cost of living in your principal residence.

This also greatly reduces the tenant “shock” since a small increase every year is much less than a big lump sum increase every 3-5 years.I try to keep my rents a little lower than market rate so it is easier to find tenants.Another way to soften the blow is to print a recent article on rent increases in your area.
