Thanks, Dave, is the cost basis equal to the date when I acquired the property (when I bought as primary) or FMV when the house moved from secondary to rental investment?

What you are saying makes sense and I can definitely see where the DTI goes down as more cashflow positive properties are acquired over time. 

I’m thinking now that house hacking once a year through buying multi family would allow me to acquire at least 10 units in 5 years.

For example, using simple numbers, let’s say our plan is to acquire the plot of land for $100K.

I am a real estate agent and not a lender so I would speak to a lender to confirm before making the decision.House hacking is mainly desired as a means to acquire long term rentals with a low down payment loan product reserved for owner occupants.

I am sure there is a need for someone to educate vets on VA loans and how to acquire housing.

     I am trying to understand the mechanics/math behind a CMBS loan assumption and the cash/equity needed from a buyer who would acquire the property and assume the loan.Example parameters below:Original Loan Balance: $7.5MCurrent Balance: $7.0MAcquisition price: $9MRemaining loan term: 80 months Also any website/articles outlining the loan assumption process would be appreciated. 

As with our first flip, we were hoping to acquire more capital in order to purchase rentals.

Hello there fellow investors,My name is Alex, a former student-athlete and a alum of Northwestern University.  

I feel like once I let it go, I wouldnt be able to acquire property in the Bay Area anymore.
