No one has ever balked at undergoing a background check and, if they did, that would be a red flag for me and I'd just move along.

Hi guys, my name is herby and I just closed on my first deal for house hacking on a 4plex. 1 of the tenants is out of contract and is on a month to month and that’s the unit I plan to move into.

A little bit about my experience in Real Estate… I started a couple years ago doing some house flips in Detroit ( It was a 2 year plan) then decided to sell everything, moved to Washington DC which can't afford anything in the DMV area but last year I purchased a very nice 3500 SQFT Duplex in Shaker Heights, suburb of Cleveland.

Key is make sure you have a good surveyor and title company. s far as being ready all about the market in that most people who purchase either one of these products are not interested in any maintenance and would rather pay monthly dues. 

I planned to move it into LLP after a year due to Freddie Mac restrictions.I’ve done my own research and seems the rates are worse then what I’d get as a 2nd home for LLP. 

And you do have to recapture depreciationBut all in all this can still be a wonderful move to eliminate at least a part of the gain.

So I've poked around real estate investing, and I understand there are support services that might be useful for the real estate industry such as clean up services when old tenants move out.

I feel the time is good since theirs fear and people are hesitant because of rates not dropping, thus giving me a opportunity to make this move. 

Hello all, I own only 3 units and my wife and I are looking to move into a SF home.

Knowns: ground will be rock, no overhangs, typical 8ft fence with one automatic gate with key pad entry for both entry and exit, lighting and video surveillance.
