How did you find this deal and how did y...

Local input and city planning suggest this access has been in use since the highway was built, potentially supporting a claim for a prescriptive easement.While this access previously held little value, recent developments have increased its significance.

I am planning on house hacking another multifamily putting only 3-5% down in a year.

Do you have the financial stability to do it right now with enough reserves to account for potential capital expenditures?

-interior floor plan not ideal for raising a family but looks ok for STR.

One of the worst housing markets in the country, 27% of homes still severely underwater nearly a decade after the last financial crisis.

It's a loophole, and it will eventually close, everywhere.Any property I buy going forward that I plan to hold long term I will only buy in areas that are already extremely strictly regulated for STRs. 

Third rental has some equity and I'm planning to sell this fall, but not enough.
