Hi everybody my name is Kamari.I live in Ohio and plan to buy my first house hack by the end of this year!

I moved from Connecticut to Columbus, Ohio in 2012 and started investing in 2017 with a house hack.

My question has 2 parts. 1) is there a way to change the contractor without his release since he has done nothing to the house yet?

If you're looking to put even less, you'd have to get creative somehow - house hack, second position seller financing, etc.

Her son is living in that house right now and it is falling apart.

I have 2 story house with the basement. 3/1 with opportunity to add second bathroom on the second floor.  

Hello, I am looking to renovate my grandma's house.

What if I am a part-time agent to qualify for the REP status via mainly RE agent activities (helping others in buying/selling houses) and then also have a couple of investment properties on the side that I manage myself to attain passive loss from those properties (via depreciation)? 

@Colleen Weaver - I would assume you are referring to a 5% down owner occupied loan, e.g. a house hack of sorts.

We clearly outline the early check-in and late check-out policies in the listing house rules and the automated messages we send out before check-in and before check-out.IF there is a violation we will send them a late check-out fee payment request.
