Hello, I live in California Sacramento, recently bought a primary house which I plan to do house hacking.

.- Consider using hard money loans as a bridge to longer-term financing if you're planning to keep the property as a rental.

My husband and I are planning to buy rental properties in Davenport, IA.

In December, my wife and I bought an old 1984 3/2 split level home with a walkout basement in a great area of Raleigh NC and spent the next 5 months renovating it, spending a little over $40k and pouring every ounce of energy and time we had into it.

He's rockin' and has a plan.

Sometimes you may not want to be recognized as the buyer, or you may not want to reveal that you plan to move in; especially if it means you have to non-renew a tenant. 

I only put 5% down, because I wasn't planning on keeping this house for very long.

On top of that I will be listing out every damage that was more than wear and tear, but only planning to charge for the ceiling and cat damage.I don't think I should have an issue with this holding up in small claims.

I have spend over $5000 so far trying to get him and climbing. 

I'm particularly interested in rental properties in the Alabama and Florida areas.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time in the salt water and hanging with my two dogs Sheeba and Theo.Excited to learn and connect with you all!
