Typically the leaks have been toilets which will constantly run and use water slowly.

this isn't an option for everyone based on family situation and lifestyle, but I know multiple people who have sequentially house hacked their way to a portfolio of 5-15 units in 5-10 years simply by using their monthly housing payment.

It's worth it to research your options and go with the best quality you can afford!

Go with standard size options, don't do anything custom.

I have 3 options.1) Cash out refinance with above 7% interest rate.

Of course they can get a higher sale price if they are willing to take on someone who cannot get a loan, or are offering better terms than current loan options.

Hi everyone,My wife and I are keeping all options insofar as real estate investment opportunities to engage in.

Typically, when we close with a conventional lender there is paperwork we sign that states we intend to occupy the house for at least a year.  

All options you can advise will be welcome!!!
