What options would I have as an exit strategy to get out of paying this high amount?

What are some effective strategies for finding good deals in San Antonio?

House Hack strategy.

Your repercussion has already happened.People who sue HUD, sue all of us.Able people who accept sec 8, landlord or tenant, are abusing an otherwise noble social program, if they position themselves to qualify as a financial strategy, rather than qualifying for reasons of bad luck.

Just another strategy to consider. 

Would you pay for a subscription model say $1000 a month where you got access to knowledgeable investor agent who had zero stake on if the transaction closed but provided you with local knowledge, strategies, ran comps, looked over deals, even looked over home inspection reports, talked in the phone, basically a consultant (you could possibly tack on services like writing offers or seeing a property in person) my thought is if you buy a property relatively quickly, it’s much cheaper than paying 2.5% even if you end up paying for the service for a few month’s and realize it’s not a good time for you to buy you are only out a few thousand dollars as opposed to hundreds of thousands of dollars, this would basically take the agent’s need to sell you a home out the process, presumably there motivation would be to keep you subscripted for as long as possible but you could easily just cancel and if you were interested in buying later resubscribe than.

One of the strategies I picked up early to utilize was renting by the room.

Which isn’t bad for a asset investment and she doesn’t have to pay taxes on that part of the strategy
