Do it sounds like being able to do a lot of the work ourselves will be a good option.  

Hi Connor, Congrats, househacking is a great strategy and it sounds like you have a good plan in place.

@Amit Shukla - Not necessary, but many do just to sound cool ;)Not that I recommend it, but I have old school investors who are in their 70s with over 20 properties and not one in an LLC... think of all the filing fees and time they have saved by not doing so.

Does that sound fair?

All were viable, but its most effective use due to its location was STR.

Do you see these loans as being an effective tool?

But chasing negative cash flow property at retail (that's what 'turnkey' buying is), at or near the top of an overheated market, with relatively high interest rates, potentially a looming recession, and no more institutional iBuyers (they have effectively left the market) in the wings to bail out retail sellers, ... all this adds up to a lot of risk.

For me personally ~50 units making $200 cash-flow today (expected to increase with rent increases) leveraged at 60% ARV sounds about right.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

I believe it can get easier because it sounds like you are most concerned about the fee among any other factors, and, it is possible to lower the fees you pay.
