Hi BP community, I'm a junior studying engineering and I'm starting to strategize for my first house-hack, and I hope to pull the trigger in about 12-18 months.

If that scenario doesn’t include financial suicide, bankruptcy, death, or something similar, then knowing that I’ll be ok in the worst situation helps with pulling the trigger. 

I have two 3-family homes and 1 duplex, none of which trigger the commercial loan requirement.

It also triggers your taxable gain, but merely defers it over 30 years. 

I did a lot of homework on them and met with them several times before pulling the trigger. 

That triggered us having to pay transfer taxes, as the state treats an LLC as a disregarded entity, even if it contains the same members.Most of our clients invest using an LLC as their preferred corporate structure.

Right now I am searching the MLS daily and have a subcontractor friend who lets me know if he hears of anything hitting the market soon as I am ready to pull the trigger on my first deal this year.

I was looking a lot in GA last summer and couldn't get myself to pull the trigger on something so far.

However if you plan on buying 3-4units, there is a trigger rule for FHA, it is called the self sufficiency test.

What kinds of code updates should we expect this to trigger?
