Fresh paint after 5 years, bought a new washer and dryer unit, knocked out a portion of the wall to create a pass through window between kitchen and living area What was the outcome?

A family member is also a real estate agent and would provide me with the 3% commission on the purchase of the new properties, minimizing cash outflow on the new properties.So my high-level thoughts are, I could downsize and buy two properties, which would reduce my monthly living expense by 1) a smaller primary note and 2) income from the MF offsetting a portion of the primary note, and at the same time I would be able to pull the equity I have built up in my current home, plush my current cash on hand, to further invest after the dust settles.

I want to live in the SFH portion and house hack the studio as a STR, but when I move, still want to maintain the STR income without dealing with the hassle of coordinating with a cleaner or turnover assistant.

One of them has a list in it of questions to ask a property management firm when you are looking to hire out the property management portion of the process. 

In practice, I've yet to meet a first timer pull the rehab portion of a BRRRR off in less than six months anyways.

I have saved enough money to pay my bills and portion of the mortgage for 1 year.

@Matt Lorenzo Have you requested the seller to remediate the mold as a part of the sale and/or asked them to credit you all of or a portion of the money it will cost to remediate?

So, if you get a preapproval today, and it takes you 3-4 months to find a property, by the time you get to the financing portioning the original documents would need to be refreshed.That being said, it's not a big deal.

-would you be more likely to consider funding a portion of the deal?
