Yes, House Hacking seems like the most ideal option when considering my first investment (open to other forms of ownership, such as live-in flips as well).

While I could have gone lower I am lowering my risk tolerance because I expect a recession in late 2019 to 2020.

@Patrick Osterling similarly I come from a sales background as well.

They contacted me as well through someone I know but they have not used them yet.

Prices are higher, but rents are very high as well.

Well done @David Shaun .

You need income to qualify for loans, you can learn how to manage rentals well (something most landlords never do), you will figure out which communities/properties make the best investments, can earn an above-average paycheck, and may even find some investment properties before they hit the market.

Campus housing has been under tremendous headwinds for the last 4 years.These properties were sold with extremely aggressively optimistic projections, as well as a price that represented a significant premium to fair market value.So sorry to hear about your investment.

My client's have been happy with the draw process and response times as well.

Sounds like you all area experiencing it as well.
