I am new to real estate investing, and is considering house hacking a property for my first deal.

First two properties I house hacked, allowing me to put down very little.

If I put all of my eggs in one basket (Florida in this case), paid off property and a hurricane blows everything away, FEMA is nowhere to be found and the insurance companies take years to pay what little claims they actually do pay, I suffer through it in a blown out house.

And if it's a high amount, would you be better off just using that as a downpayment and get a standard new investment loan?

They have contacted me for a commercial loan.

Christmas on the house.

They finally get back to me after the close date to say they need more time because they are try to cross collateralize their other properties to make this deal happen and the bank they were using doesn't do this kind of loan.
