The good news is you don't need a specialty loan for a house hack, just a traditional primary home loan.

You can open a Self-Directed IRA and use the IRA funds to buy a house using a Non-recourse loan. 

If anyone in Pennsylvania is looking to sell their houses through a wholesale agent please consider myself as a reputable source of help.

I've been looking into going with the route of section 8 (or housing choice voucher).

@Greg Scott thanks for the mention:)@Usman Khan welcome to the "fun" of S8, where you can rarely get ahold of anyone at a Housing Commission office:( THey are all overworked and underpaid.Reference this for your S8 training and maintenance:https://dhcmi.org/sites/default/files/upload/LandlordGuideBo...

Buffalo is predicted to be #1 2025 Small City Housing Market of the year.

Quote from @William Penn House Jr: I just got off the webinar and fell for the OKEDOK,  It was clearly stated the they would charge only $197 tioday as well as monthly and that would include everything.

==========================My relative is asking if this is a viable way to legally avoid having to pay taxes:STEP 1: SELL PRIMARY RESIDENCE (House A)-Sell primary residence to son-in-law for cost basis + $500K-File gift tax form for difference between sale price & market value-Not pay capital gains on $500K due to personal exemption.STEP 2: SELL RENTAL PROPERTIES-Do 1031 exchange and buy House A back from son-in-law-Rent out House A for 1 year before move back in==========================Thoughts?

The one negative is with multiple tenants in a house is potential for conflict among each other but could be reduced by screening all of them well. 

Targeting Section 8 housing?
