for me it gets tougher and much tougher as I get older.. aches and pains are far more frequent.Living in the Napa valley for years wine was a daily event. and of course a martini before the wine.

Another thing that BP is great for is helping newer investors like Steven figure out exactly which strategy they want to pursue; so many different ways to make money in this industry (admittedly I am biased to micro-flipping as discussed on my BP episode).I do have to respectfully disagree that simply because I have now chosen to teach people how to successfully flip homes, does not somehow eliminate my ability or past success in flipping hundreds of homes over the last decade.

The current condo I own is non-warrantable which eliminates utilizing traditional loans. 

It's a great way to build equity, and the goal of a house hack isn't to eliminate your housing cost - it's just to defray it. 

Thus, the investment grows like it's sitting in a roth 401k/IRA       Then when you die, your heir gets a step-up in basis, thus eliminating all the prior capital gains over decades, but only up to 13.6 mil this year :(              Debt Funds (like mortgage note investing) can also be very lucrative but I don't know/understand the tax savings/issues in that class yet, still learning :)              Equity REIT investing can give you great siloed real estate exposure in 11 major asset class sub-types, but don't offer the direct tax benefits as direct RE ownership does above, as the REIT gets those benefits when it transacts and as a corporation passes those benefits secondarily/indirectly onwards to us investors as high dividends and gradual stock price appreciation.

Would it make sense for you to live somewhere else and rent all 3 units to maximize the income on the property to eliminate your debt?

If lenders cannot collect the shortage this is allowed as your debt was eliminated.

This is the best way to eliminate gut or emotional decision making.

It does not eliminate you doing a thorough background screening.

I planned to put in money out of pocket towards renovations to force appreciation, get to the 78/22 debt to value, and eliminate PMI.I got quotes from 4 different contractors. 2 didn’t work out, 1 was very expensive, but number 4 was perfect.
