HI Dean,You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

If both agree, it seems like a win-win as the new tenant gets to move their stuff in over a few weeks and the old tenant doesn't have to pay the full month's rent. 

We told them they can leave aa long as they give us proper notice according to lease..but they are continuing their nonsense. 10 months left on lease 

Flipped in 2 months for a 45k profit Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Noah Yashinsky hi Noah yeah just purchased a four Plex in pharr last month.

@Redgy Saint-Germain I'm currently in the process of a 203k loan and my mortgage officer said they would apply the left over balance to my mortgage balance as a principle payment, but the monthly payment would stay the same.

I'm a little surprised because this guest has twelve 5-star reviews on AirBnB.From reading the collective wisdom of this group, I know that all the above is small stuff.

Should we sell the house for equity needed.We are in CA, I am co-signing my nephew’s home, currently paying $1500 mortgage monthly with 2.75% interest, it has 342K left on the loan.

I would get very close to breakeven, but you are still living for practically free (not counting repairs, maintenance, and management) while paying down the mortgage on a monthly basis.I have never purchased a new property to house hack, but I would run the numbers like any other investment property.
