@Jason Babos As long as you plan to use a property management company and the numbers on the deal pencil, I don't think it's too much to handle for a first deal. 

Hey Edwin, Are you planning on starting out in Sacramento?

made an offer on a property only to find out later that one of the units was going through an eviction.tried to extend our inspection contingency to no avail to buy us some timeended up not being able to come to terms on how to proceed with sellerthe last HOUR of our inspection contingency the seller offers to try and buy out (cash for keys) the tenant the next day (he had a property manager handling the eviction and wasn't even aware of it initially).i get a (risky) oral agreement that even though the contingency window had passed, if the plan falls through my client will still get their EMD back the next day the seller ends up buying out the tenant for a bit over $3,000 and now we can move forward with the deal without the headache of a problem teanant/ picking up an eviction.

Hello, I live in California Sacramento, recently bought a primary house which I plan to do house hacking.

I would talk to local credit units with military specialists to see if they have anything customizable for where you're at in the process.

.- Consider using hard money loans as a bridge to longer-term financing if you're planning to keep the property as a rental.

Feel free to reach out anytime with any questions about the process ! 

My husband and I are planning to buy rental properties in Davenport, IA.

I only put 5% down, because I wasn't planning on keeping this house for very long.

Yeap, that's the plan.
