@Pedro TorresBRRRing OOS - it can be very dangerous:(Too many newbies take contractors and agents at their word, when "trust, but verify" is extremely important.You should try to plan 2 trips for a BRRRR:1) Initial walk-thru with contractor(s), which you should video for documentation & accountability.2) Final walk-thru BEFORE paying out final amounts to contractor(s).

Since generally the benefit of a house hack is to hold the primary residence loan as long as possible, if you hold it long-term, you could still be forced to pay the mortgage insurance 10+ years down the line.Plus, you can only have one FHA loan (with some exceptions) at a time, so I'd rather use this house hack for 5% down which I can repeat and save FHA for another time. 

I recommend you start with duplexes as you should always have a paying tenant.
