My name is India Jonassaint, and I am elated to be apart of Bigger Pockets!

Hi, definitely have a rental agreement as well as a background/credit check (many apartment associations provide both which is great).

For example, do not ask a very successful realtor who specializes in high-end single family homes to find you a six unit apartment building in a section 8 market.

I am very interested in purchasing a 2-4 until apartment building in the Cincinnati area to house hack (owner occupy) because paying rent gets me no where!!

It has duck access from the bedroom closet Hope this is the answer of your questions.

I'm trying to buy a 4 plex, and live in one of the units.The problem is that the rents are currently too low for the apartments to cash flow with all four units, and the rents would just barely cover the mortgage if I lived in one of the units.I could live there practically for free but what would I do when I wanted to move?

Does anyone know a bank that offers interest-only HELOC on a rental property? Almost every bank I called to said they only lend on primary residences. Thank you.

This realtor has already set me up with automatic emails for new properties put on the market through his access to the MLS.

I think it all depends on what your risk tolerance is, and what your timeline is for how quickly you need to access the money.

Have you ever managed an apartment building before?
