However, I am the primary owner.Current Situation: My aunt’s daughter (my cousin) lives in the house rent-free.

We invested time in finding the best team and paid them better than anyone else in our market.

Could you invest $10K, $100K, $500K if needed? 

I have only tried it twice so just wondering what the more experienced investors think of this, or is this just something that people talk about to try and make a real estate investing negative seem not so bad? 

William,The best thing I did was drive around the area I was looking to invest and started talking with contractors.

Hi @Douglas Alexander, I've used the VA loan many times, but never for MFR.You can't use it for more than a 4-unit building, so 1-4 is OK, 5 or more... nope.Great plan though to house-hack it.Let me know how your research turns out ref. building from scratch.Could be an interesting idea... build like a 3/2 for your family and 3 more smaller units.Then when you move out, you can rent the 3/2 for more obviously and could earn some good cash flow.

It's not a "passive investment" that's for sure--at least for me!

Shalom Welcome to Bigger Pockets and I wish you all the best in your investing journey!!

Any suggestions on doing a primary residence house swap, creative finance deal?

I assume it has to do with multifamily investing, I'm not familiar with that workshop.
