If it's just you or just you and a partner, your best bet when looking to house hack a multifamily is to look for uneven unit sizes.

I think I'm an accidental owner of a few rental units in the metro-Atlanta area.

Where you are building your wealth is the appreciation and don't forget rents tend to go up over time so as time goes on the unit gets more profitable from a cash flow perspective. 

I was looking at an apartment building 100 units for 17 million with a 10 cap. 

My HOA has said they're not responsible, but I have been told that the issue won't be solved unless all the units (less than 10 total), are sealed. 

The studio has large windows on both sides of the unit so i do not want to loose any of that natural light, and I am thinking of eitherA - Doing a full glass partition wall with glass door, with smart glass that can frost to create privacy when in use and allow sunlight when not in use to both sides of the apartmentorB - Doing a higher end full wall foldable partition on a track that closes the whole new "room" into a bedroom but can close back up and fold away to make it a studio again if not in use.Thanks for your input

House hacking means living in the place you are fixing up or let's say you have a triplex and you live in one unit and rent out the other two. 

Is this possible for a cash out refinance or rate term on 2 investment properties on the same loan that need to be refinanced and separated, or is this a unicorn by a rainbow sitting next to a pot of gold?

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Yanting Wang many investors are buying, "build to rent" properties.They are all being told that in buying a new construction property, they shouldn't have maintenance issues for 5-10 years, which will increase their cashflow/profit.Well, tenants have a way of breaking things, not taking care of problems and letting them become maintenance issues, and this is on top of the fact that most new construction properties require several warranty repairs by the builder in the first 12 months.As others have pointed out, you must live in the property for the first 12 months for an FHA mortgage or take your chances with committing mortgage fraud. do a new construction multifamily don't buy a single family for BTR the numbers are garbage. density is the only win for economies of scale, micro units as well. small, well designed multiple dwelling properties are superior. 

I’m active duty Air Force and I have three VA loans now.When I started, I didn’t know where to start, so I went with the big companies, USAA, Navy Federal, and Veterans United.If you don’t have an agent, I know USAA and Veterans United have agents they are connected to and can refer them to you.
