So we're looking at two scenarios:Scenario 1: sell existing home.

As I'm developing my marketing strategy for house hacking, I want to emphasize and understand who my potential roommates are and what their potential needs are.I envision the tenant to be a young professional or student looking for housing, but I would like to gather more insights:Amenities and Needs:What sort of amenities and features do young professionals and students typically look for in a rental property?

I think we know it exists, but without any type of advertising, im not sure how many "regular" people know it exists and to use it. 

My question is when the three years are up is there a way for me to “refinance the house into my name based of off the equity instead of having to qualify based on my income and pay the owner off”.

There is a serious housing shortage in San Diego but the policy is also trying to discourage the private market to provide more housing by being extremely unfair to landlord.

I'm still in the niche as I think there will always be a market for affordable housing.

Hi BP community,I FINALLY finished house hacking a duplex in San Antonio!

House-hacking is way too trendy. 

to get to the point, i would find an area likely to experience more demand and ensure the financials work out for both MTR & LTR's. i would ideally start out with a fourplex and depending how that goes, possibly scale from there. i do believe that it is more traditional to syndicate on larger properties so i am wondering if you know if it is possible to syndicate, starting off, for one fourplex or even one MTR condo. my gut feeling is to start with one beach-front condo in florida that requires $37,250 down . a new construction fourplex, however, i could finance with a USDA loan myself and not have to consider investors so that may make things easier, possibly.no airbnb's. maybe VRBO. two week minimum stay. only in areas very likely to have housing demand due to new factories being built.i own/run an STR right now and it is going well with only the occasional hiccup.

The other needs less rehab with houses selling for around 100k or renting for $600-$800.
