@Abby H.Shifting from house hacking to small multifamily is a great way to scale, and securing a JV partner is all about networking, credibility, and structuring a win-win deal.

It's an acreage property near the lake that has a main house (2/1), guest house (3/2), and small studio-layout unit (3 units on same property).

I started real estate investing by house hacking and then getting into rentals from there.

But to answer your question, House canary is good for rent rates, zillow is a good tool for property data and for seeing what is for rent for how much, sales comps etc.

My friend is selling his house and is open to an assumable mortgage.

The contract was a simple 3 page one and I wrote this in.Also, it is a single family being rented as a rooming house (which is technically not legal here).

would you rent out your property to a problematic tenant who has a good rental history which means always pays on time with a good credit score. i'm in the process of renting out my house

Hello @Fulati,With that budget, I would look for houses in East Memphis, Cordova, or Bartlett.

@Parker BullardFrom my experience, house hacking is a great way to reduce housing costs by renting out part of a property, like a duplex or triplex.
