@Tesho Akindele House hacking definitely seems to be great way to start and learn; however, with the recent supply shortage causing prices to rise, renting single family homes many generate a negative cash flow.

So, in buying the properties with LLC as the seller, would it be a regular real estate transaction with a title co closing?

I have a regular day job as a tax CPA at an accounting firm, so even though we are 100% remote right now, there is a chance I have to stay near Manhattan so that I can commute to the office 2-3x a week.

I believe you have to give a deposit equal to the credit line, so you can't really be denied for a less than perfect credit history.Discover has a secured card, and it can be converted to a regular card:https://www.discover.com/credi...

If a "regular" residential lender can qualify you, then you are good to go. 

I agree with your approach of reverse engineering in that way of figuring out what the demand is first then become the supply.

We are collecting $4,160 in rent, which covers our $2,950 mortgage and the $1,000 in utilities/supplies/cleaning service.

I bought my homes with Reunion Investments LLC and they have been able to help me replace my income and live the way I have always wanted, and now I get to use my teacher's salary to pay for teaching supplies.

Fees for appraisal services are all about supply and demand.
