But you have to play the hand your dealt in areas you live and work in..

@Dawn Johnson I am also a Virginia landlord, not a lawyer, no legal advice, but my understanding is unless your lease clearly states your lease renews annually or you have tenant sign an addendum showing new term ends x date, then she likely believed it converted to monthly.

Doing a deal like this makes sense to myself as an investor if I were to do it with 0% of my own money down and if it was structured and laid out for me.

In the case of having several partners in the property, it also would outline an operating agreement and arrangement between the partners of who owns how much of the property. 

I know most residential lenders won't lend to an LLC so my question is should I just house hack the way anyone else would, using my own personal financial status and name, my own funds for the downpayment, and put the multifamily entity and principles aside for now.

@Calvin RappardThe existing leases you inherit are binding so there's no need to modify that to have your name on it.

Hey Scott,Your experience really brings back memories.

What are your long-term goals for the partnership?

Three months in at the house, my brother's new girlfriend decided to buy her own house.

In reading your post, it sounds like you might have a police issue for trespassing, not a court issue with an eviction.
