I'm seeing house hack, buy a primary and rent out the ADU on AirBnb or the ultimate house hack, owner lives in the tiny ADU and AirBnb both levels of the main house in San Francisco. 

Quote from @Andrew Lawlor: I've been actively investing in short-term rental properties for the past three years, managing one live property and another that will go live in two months.

Hello BP,My wife and I are looking for some advice on an All Inclusive Trust Deed to sell our house.We bought a mansion up on the bench as kind of a live-in flip in 2021 and are finally as done as we are gonna get with it.

Consider using an FHA loan to secure a 1–4 unit property with just 3.5% down and take advantage of tax benefits by living there for at least two years.

I think I'll start out where I live and probably branch out outnof state once I build my knowledge and experience. 

I live in the area and just gave up looking for now. 

Do not live with regrets, what you did was right for you during that time.

It is live and able to be edited or changed anytime.

Use tools like the VA loan for house hacking and your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) to cover living costs while building equity.

If you need the cash flow to live on and it will improve your lifestyle, then go for it.
