I would take cash back (more $ for my next deal, repairs) vs a price reduction (as long as cashflow is good of course or flip makes sense).

House hacking is a great place to start you portfolio, just be buckled up for the long haul.

If the goal is to hold and have positive cash flow, I would focus my effort on shortening the loan term and paying it down aggressively instead of refinancing.

For instance, markets with low property values and expenses are often ideal for cash-flowing long-term rentals, especially in areas where many residents are unable to purchase homes.

If you secure the automotive window tinting job with a consistent salary of $60k-$70k, that should satisfy most lenders as long as you can show steady pay stubs.

Short term its leveling off and going to fall a little bit, but longer term its still going to increase.

Start by reminding everyone of the terms of the lease specifically parking and guests. 

In the process of BUYING a PURE Option to buy a SFH subject to an existing loan (at a lower fixed long term interest rate)Let say the OPTION "Strike price" to BUY the property IF or WHEN the OPTION is EXERCISED is $300K The seller wants $60K to sell us the OPTION. 

The next step would be to begin talking with lenders near you and see what kind of lending terms and rates you are able to qualify for.

I have had a lot of luck on Long Island with section 8.
