This eliminates the need for costly filings for multiple LLCs and allows you to separate your properties. 

Doing this keeps us balanced and has allowed us to purchase more properties as well as have a reserve when needed.

@Christian RodriguezSome plans allow for it if you’re under 59 1/2.

It allows you to put less down, learn all about real estate while living in the property, and potentially reduce your living expenses.There are different ways to house hack as well, so if you're interested in becoming a landlord, you could try buying a 3 family (for example) and see if you like it.

If you want to "rig" something up from outside your windows and all then... again you'll have to verify what your housing owners allow or not (just like a satelite dish).

No serious, legit, high-end GCs will allow you to get materials...it's not how this is done.

Travel nurses have housing allowance correct? 

Also the last 2 year we used them , we need to recheck the draft as there're always mistakes either the deductible number or my company spelling!. 

Depending on amount of damage vs deductible it may be worth or not worth itAlso if it’s vacant and was under renovation they may say you were Donny major repairs which is builders risk and may not cover it.

For context I make 80k at my W2 job, so it allows some room for investment savings, but nothing crazy.
