My first problem is we want to house hack to try and avoid that 25% down payment.

House hack into a C class 4 plex with value add potential.

I'm considering buying a duplex in West Oakland, house hacking, and eventually moving out and keeping it as a rental.

Perhaps you should even house hack to boost ROI even further by also saving on rent every month.

There is no hack or easy answer here. 

Looking to house hack a duplex or house hacking with a finished basement/ in-law suite.

*Note: After speaking with a LV real estate agent, I have ruled out house-hacking a duplex/triplex/fourplex due to the location of available inventory (one of my short term goals is to live in a decent area/home)2) Would it be best to use a conventional 30 year mortgage to purchase the initial SFH and then refinance with that lender, or would I be better off looking for a hard money lender initially and then refinancing with a 30 year mortgage after the rehab? 

Im thinking of house hacking multifamily homes using my VA loan.Plan.Year one purchase Triplex or quadplex put tenants in the the remaining units and keep my Va loan there for a year to 18 months.

I am looking to finally get into the real estate rental game and want to find a decent home with minimal work needed to make it look more modern so i can start using the house hacking strategy. 🏡 🔑💸so my question is:When applying for a loan do you go straight through the bank you you been banking with or can i go to other banks and apply?

There is a House Hacking group that meets every other Thursday at Oscar Blues.
