@Gabriella Swan, with your management experience already in place, house hacking seems like a perfect entry into real estate.

If all you do is crunch numbers, it's easy to make anything not perfect.

We found that by more or less falling on our sword and saying, "Hey, we want you guys happy... tell us what you need from us" they were more than helpful and once we had contractors they liked on board the process went perfectly smoothly.I don't live near you so can't help with your locale... but hopefully some of it helps!

Its perfect!

It is perfect for a portfolio size of 5-15 units. 

With a manageable purchase price and the opportunity for high-impact renovations, it fit perfectly within our investment strategy, promising a solid return.

. - Prices are too high- Prices are falling- Interest rates are too high- My Cousins, Mothers, Sister told me that Real Estate is too riskyThere’s never a “perfect” time, but everyone wishes that they started sooner.

There is no "perfect" structure out there but I've tried a lot of different ones within QBO over the years and this is by far the best I've found.I use this structure for my own portfolio as well.Hope that helps!

I figured this would be the perfect place to connect with like-minded people, get advice, and explore more resources to guide our decisions. 

I am perfectly fine holding X amount in real estate.If I do see an opportunity another option is to lock it up and sell one of my existing if I think this property will perform or appreciate significantly more.
