The strategy I'm following for my first house hack is to acquire a multifamily property (duplex, triplex, quadplex) or SFH w/ an ADU (or potential for an ADU) as I am mainly looking to simultaneously acquire my first property and subsidize my mortgage payment.

You have the ability to grant permissions based on the user's security level, which you determine.

We have emails, video conferences, secure portals etc etc.We do have a physical office, and half of our clients are local.

If the business sells (it’s currently listed), the rent payments would stop, but I’d still own the property as an asset.

I would like to purchase another property so I looked into a heloc and a cash out refinance and it looks like I would qualify for about 75000 max which would be enough to put a down payment on another property and rehab it, but I still haven’t paid myself back from the original property rehab.

The main thing that pops out at me every month is that less than half of my payment goes to paying the principle down, over half goes to the interest, taxes, and insurance, ect. 

Its great that the seller is will to carry a note in a seller 2nd as well, that will help reduce your require monthly payment with the right lenders.

The rules and payment standards vary significantly from one area to another, so familiarizing yourself with the local housing authority's procedures is key.

I offer an online payment portal to submit rent payments via ACH or CC - they "couldn't figure out how to use it" so I set us up to accept Zelle payments.

If you want to buy your first property ASAP, house hacking (duplex, triplex, or renting extra rooms) is one of the best ways to start with a low down payment while learning property management.
