Hello everyone, I've been learning a lot about house hacking and I think I'm ready to jump in.

Welcome to the BP family @Ken Chen , you came to the right place to learn all about real estate investing!

I'm willing to learn and potentially become certified by whatever means necessary to begin this journey.

I'm particularly passionate about Seattle, Washington, Columbus, Cincinnati, Ohio, Indiana and Pittsburg, PhillyExcited to learn and connect with you all!

Hi Grant, some things that might be helpful to learn more about the firm/team:- If/why they target a certain asset class- Have there been any problems with liquidity in past deals?

If the price to replace is within budget I'd do it because you're putting out a newer/safer/more reliable product.2) Cost to replace the entire systems is tough to gauge without knowing the building size and style...

Hi - typically Mixed Use properties are going to require a traditional commercial real estate loan from a bank, small balance commercial private lender or for the larger ones a CMBS style loan.However, a newer "DSCR Loan" product for Mixed Use is making a comeback - which is a really great option for smaller properties/more beginner investors since it has all the same trappings as a residential DSCR Loan (30-year fixed, easy qualification, straightforward process) for a property with commercial units.Generally going to be limited to 8 units max and has to be primarily residential in every way (majority residential by units, square footage and rents) but if it fits all that, its a great option

If we were to see major changes in zoning and redevelopment we could see some LA style gentrification of neighborhoods.

No use crying over spilt milk, but I learned my lesson.

Lessons learned?
