@Carlos Valencia @Albert Bui Matthew,Thanks for the great insight on house hacking. 

I would appreciate any insights.1- In a partnership or LLC, can both partners benefit from this strategy if they invest in the same property?

It's fantastic that you're exploring opportunities with the VA Home Loan and considering home hacking with multi-family properties.Making connections with seasoned real estate investors in the Lawrence, Kansas, region is a terrific method to get advice and insights before you start your real estate career.

Any insight would be extremely helpful. 

Slightly unrelated but important for @Heidi Ann Faller to know: A net operating loss cannot offset capital gains since the IRS views these are two separate forms of income.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Would love to connect withy any current operators or anyone with student housing insight at OSU. 

For example, just having a real estate license isn't sufficient to gain membership to a MLS, which I believe most are owned by commercial third parties...As for our local boards... 

Any insights?

Great some are ok with taking the property back after spending $5-$10k on foreclosure and start all over a gain but did they end up with anything but headaches and wasted time.
