The good thing about househacking a legal multifamily unit is that lender allows you to use the vacated units of 75% market rent as an income to offset the potential current mortgage.

If its a stagnant market, it becomes even harder with single family homes that can only achieve $1200/m rents.

Sometimes, it’s all about finding the right nearby areas that balance cash flow with future appreciation to achieve your goals.Here are a few cities (there are more) just outside Atlanta that have strong RTP ratios and more affordable entry points, I suggest looking into:East Point, GA College Park, GA Douglasville, GA Lithonia, GA If you’re interested in any of these areas, feel free to DM me!

Our swift funding process meant there were no delays, enabling us to complete the same-day purchase and resale seamlessly and achieve rapid returns with Rod King.

If you have a small and/or basic unit I think it could be looked at as optional. 

This is is a very good area and would actually live in 1 unit, so 3-4k negative cash flow for living expenses is ok, as any house w mortgage would cost that.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfbjOlyVsGW3nHLVPk_R...Key questions/assumptions:- Total for this deal in cash is 300k, anything else (reserves, renovation loan etc) would need to be a bridge loan or hard money- 1 unit is vacant and current rents are VERY under market, projected rent is what seller gave as realistic.

The energy, dedication, sacrifice, and unity is unbelievable. 

I’m looking for some guidance on my next steps toward achieving financial freedom through real estate.My long-term goal is to acquire enough rental properties to secure my financial future.

In my opinion, it is something you should sit down with an attorney who provides entity protection, so you can map out what you're trying to achieve.

This will depend greatly upon your market, in my area $200/month/unit is considered solid cash flow.
