Doing it this way will give you a heads up on your next refi because you’ll know which banks to avoid based your your current circumstances.

(I’m 24, she’s 22) I recently purchased a three family as my first move as a house hack like you said but set the expectations with her ahead of time.

I think I can fix couple of those issuesand I will go ahead and replace the faucet for the one in bad shape.

I’m needing minor storm-related repairs but am not in a rush.

they said they just wanted to push ahead as all parties were present and they would make a substitution of names on the court's paperwork.

Get started, it doesn't matter what path you take, just start, make mistakes, learn from them, get better, but get started and build equity.If I would have jumped in sooner I would be light years ahead of where I am now (even if my first purchase was bad).  

Make sure you plan your Expenses to deal with any potential damage once they leave ( I always assume that it'll cost between 8k-10k when one leaves) and plan ahead. 

You will get the furthest ahead if you live in the suite or live in the main house and rent rooms in it as well..

Looking ahead, my wife wants to start a Property Management company in Rocky Mount that will actually care about the Investor and Tenant.

Regarding auction sites, if you have your real estate license, are you able to view inside the properties ahead of time?
