Hi, I live in Charlotte, NC and I am brand new to house hacking and real estate I have 4 rooms in my house to collect rent from and I am looking for the best software/way to collect rent/manage the property.

Readers are advised to seek professional assistance.

I house hack a duplex, where I live in one unit, and list the other unit as a STR, located in Walnut Creek, CA.

We have a residential loan on the prop now and live in the fixer while we're renovating.

Then, a landlord's challenge is getting a S8 tenant to live in a lower Class area. 

. #1 because you will be living there yourself and can address issues as they come up. #2 because most property managers are too overwhelmed with the volume of units they manage to give you personalized, meaningful service. 

Good evening, My name is Sebastian Lough and I am a Texan currently living in Australia but moving back to Texas in December.

Ideally I would try to get a 3/4 unit property somewhere in DC proper, PG County or Montgomery County (Takoma Park/Silver Spring), live in one unit and rent out the others. 

Main point of my post is also trying to determine if individual notes are worth it for people in my boat, who are busy and happy with other aspects of their lives... jobs, families, etc.

Get it going, get it live and you can always change/modify it.
