West Allis, WI.Target strategy: House Hacking into BRRRRI want to buy multifamily units that have the potential for forced appreciation, in solid neighborhoods.

I am a newbie investor looking to get into my first property as a house hack.

Also, have you considered house-hacking this property?

Hi-- I'm hoping to get a small multi-family home to live in and house hack.

I'm house hacking a duplex in Temescal and had to lower rents last year from $2,900 to $2,400 with the tenants due to COVID and I want to bring rents up with the same tenants, however Oakland's CPI for 2021 is 1.9% which brings rents up to $2,445.

If you are willing to house-hack (purchase a duplex, in which you live in one unit and rent the other out) - then you can get a down payment via FHA program as low as 3.5%.

Then your debt decreases AND income increases helping DTI in 2d.OR, can you house hack the next rehab project with a 203k.If you have good credit and the other rentals are cash flowing, you will have options. 

My other thought is renting all three properties and taking money from the refi to put down on a multi family unit and house hack.

My goal is house-hack a multifamily, 2-4 units in range.

I would also recommend house hacking, or working with your current residence if possible.
