It is basically: you buy a home and live in it, rent out rooms (other units if multi family), and have the renters pay the majority of the mortgage, leaving you with extra $$ compared to the avg market rent for where you live.

When I’ve run my numbers on single family vs a duplex for say 70-90k in Cleveland with these extra costs I find the cash flow numbers are basically the same.

Then you can pull all your cash (purchase + repairs) out of it and have a rental for basically "0" down. 

However, it doesn't allow me to easily point a tenant to a link, fill in some basic info (credit, move in date, etc.) information and request a showing time. 

In January of 2016 I worked with my son to purchase a home in the Corktown area of Detroit, MI – he is now living for free with his renters while making updates to the home.Little did I know, until recently having jumped back onto BP, that we basically set him up for his “house hack,” a term, of course, I learned after rejoining this community and immersing myself into the podcasts during my commute to and from the 9 to 5.

hello i am trying to buy a house from a owner but hes name is not on the deed as it was hes fathers and he past away long ago without leaving a will if the son the owner is on the property title and name on taxes can i do a affidavit heirship and put the property in my name to avoid probate court? 

But really need to get to the basics and not get overwhelmed. 

Basically, Auction.com is telling you they will only convey title via quit claim deed.

Every deal is different.Franks evaluation is basically industry standard and will get you to where you need to go when doing quick evaluations. 

Then we're ripping out basically everything on the remodel in Sunriver.
