He kept pressuring me saying if  he put in put of his own money to make me feel comfortable.

But if your going to be losing 500-600 / month, it may be better to sell the place.

id like to read your thoughts

I’m moving to Atlanta Georgia from Louisiana and going to buy my first property to house hack.

When I asked about this I was more or less told that because they run the purchase/sale through the agent's brokerage firm it makes the process more efficient and there are all these moving parts etc.

You will have a pipeline.If you cannot do 5000 letters a month, do what you can whether its 3000 or 2000.When you're doing a small volume of mailers like 2000, I would make sure your list is actually big enough.   

The best thing to do is to put each property in it's own LLC.

BP Community,I’m hoping to get some community advice on a deal set up.Background: my partner and I have owned a rental property for about five years.

We would like to purchase as a owner-occupied, to get a lower rate and to put a downpayment of only 10%. 

But you need to learn all about landlord/tenant laws, how to do basic repairs, know what average labor and material costs are for common projects. learn about payment systems, how to interview property managers, tenants and handyman services, build a team of realtors, contractors, title, hard/private money lenders, inspectors, appraisers and soooo much more.
