I think you’re smart getting into the market and as an owner occupant, why not get as many units as possible to defray your cost of living! 

This is with respect to loans secured by residential real property containing less than 5 dwelling units, so no commercial.From this, there's been a number of seemingly-reasonable and smart folks writing about the enforceability and practicality of getting around the Due-on-Sale clauses.   

Plus multifamily investing is always a smart strategy. 

It may even be smart to hire multiple because just listening to everything one person says might not be the wisest, not matter how wise they are.

What this is also going to do though is cause an issue if the tenant wants to connect any smart devices that need to speak to each other (alexa, wireless printer etc.).

I think it's just a very smart marketing strategy, humans will do a lot more to avoid pain than to gain pleasure.

You have refrigeration, Air Conditioning, a smart phone, the internet, Air Jordans, two computers, take vacations, go to college, 37 flavors of ice cream, have 365 channels of TV (I didn't say they were worth watching ;-) health insurance, life insurance, fire insurance, auto insurance, home owner's insurance, SDIRA, 401(k), plastic surgery, viagra, fast food and can call the shots of just about anything you want to do or be.I grew up in a 790 sq ft house with 4 brothers, a cousin & aunt and my folks. 

@Andrew Moore I appreciate the advice, would you suggest managing the the house hack myself or would it be smart find a property manager with the systems already set in place?

Would it be a smart investment to go ahead and buy a duplex in a more undesirable area at the moment and fix it up. i know rent is much lower in those areas as well. seems to be more class c areas. i Am working with an amazing realtor but still wanted to get on here and hear other peoples feedback or advice.

I’ve meet really really smart people in my life and when I tell them I own rental properties they give me a weird and dirty look, I talk about degrees and what I accomplished at work they are all happy again, makes no sense.
