I don't mind leaving, but I need the funds since that's one of the main reasons why my family decided to live in rent control housing for protection. 

That means if your dads stuff is in the unit and and he starts renting it that stuff is moved or it is his, make a choice.

Also those suburban metro stations are surrounded by lots of parking so they are mainly for people driving in from somewhere else, not so much for people on foot.On the plus side, they are affordable compared to other parts inside the beltway.

I don’t know the specific areas as I have’nt researched this area but I’ve seen it mainly in Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville, and Centerton.

HahahaThe main reason for using the partner was his experience—he’s been into this for close to 6 years now where as I don’t have any hands on experience.

Currently I’m in search of my first property which I plan to house hack, ideally in the Central Maine area.

@Dan Krupa I'm looking at pulling equity out of my main residence and we should have +$150k.

This choice changes the situation for the lender into an equity partnership which increases their risk, which deserves a higher reward, in equity, cashflow and sale.In any case the lender should be on title (like a bank would) to secure some or any colateral.I am a multifamily real estate business owner and not a legal expert, therefore any agreement should be drawn up and executed by an attorney specialized in your field.

For this scenario, let's say the home we currently live in is worth $240k, the current warehouse rental is worth $350k, and the upcoming warehouse will be worth $300k.The new home price would be somewhere around $400k so I would like to have around $100k to use towards a deposit, and then once we get in, then we sell our current home and take that $240k and put it towards the new home (probably as a refinance to get the best rate/payment).I currently don't have a loan on the current warehouse mainly because I wasn't sure of any loan programs that I would qualify for at the time I bought it. 

My main objective is to generate $15k of reliable, monthly cashflow in the next 5-6 years with a buy and hold investment strategy.
