The contractor was delayed, I couldn't get anyone out because of corona fear, the property manager that I hired took advantage of us & charged us for things they didn't fix, the tenant called the city and they revoked our rental permit, & we had a low appraisal.

I am looking to use the BRRRR method, but also take advantage of the FHA loan and house hack.

Hi Ryan, this is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources. 

I am thinking another option to take advantage of the low mortgage.

And when you sell down the road you'll be able to take advantage of the primary residence exemption on the portion you live in. 

I think the primary advantage is that they can go up a little faster but of course your customization options are also a bit limited as well.

It's my competitive advantage, and I love what I do with no intention of quitting any time soon.

I am curious because I have been running many scenarios in my head for the most advantageous outcome when it involves children.
