Hello, my name is Kyle Hardie and I live in Fairmont MN. 

For scaling your portfolio, consider house hacking another multi-family property to minimize living expenses while building equity.

You'd need to show the income on your tax returns and/or have a lease and first month's rent/security deposit for the unit you were living in.
