Most people who househack use that as an opportunity to gain experience into managing a property for themselves.

Very wealthy awesome people and they really like me......SOOO i explain the situation and they see my track record and BOOM I borrow 80k @ 10% APR interest only payments for 12 months with NO EARLY PAY OFF PENALTY (bless them) and i fix up the house and get a renter in there.

You’re in a great spot with a lot of amazing people here.

@Ali Harris, this is probably my favorite part of real estate investing: seeing the potential in a property that isn't readily apparent to most other people, and then executing a plan to bring your vision to life - so cool to hear you're exploring this!

Find a good, quality, reliable handyman to help with repairs.Don't get into rental properties unless you want to get your hands dirty....

I personally have closed on a handful of properties with owner carried financing and have negotiated terms for several million in private notes for clients.
