On this loan type with 3-4 units you will need to pass a self-sufficiency test which is just a test to verify that the rent from the home pays for your PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance).Another option if you are interested in fixing the home prior to renting it is the BRRRR method.

Hey guys, I'm just starting out into real estate and wholesaling is the entry method I chose to use to get into the game and learn all about the market, the lingo, the bylaws etc...so I've been learning from Youtube and talking to licensed agents that I know for a little over 2 months now.

My objective is to purchase a duplex/triplex to utilize the house hacking method.

BRRRR is my go-to method that I'd love to try but again, a deal is a deal for our first one and that's our goal right now, just to start. 

The "BRRRR" method - acquire a property - rehab it - force appreciation, and then refinance it to pull out your original downpayment plus some profits. 

Which methods take the longest to master?

Hey everyone, I'm branching out and starting long-distance BRRR and wondering what methods you have found for inspecting contractors' work.

I am familiar with the different types of investing methods (flip, rent, brrr, etc.), but I am having trouble finding what is practical for me.

Not solving the problem overnight.

It sounds like you're off to a great start with your portfolio already and you'll definitely be on track to grow that with the further learning & vision you've outlined.What kind of method are you using for the 2 properties you have near USU?
