We live in a small town outside Pittsburgh.

Hello everyone.I plan on househacking and, since multi-family is hard to come by, I have heard some people buy a SFH and live in the basement while renting out the rest of the home and renovate the basement in the process.To me it seems like it wouldn't really impact rent amounts too much unless I added bedrooms and I feel like the deal would already have to cash flow because of that I know this can be pretty nuanced but I am open to everyone's thoughts.Thank you!

He will be living in part of the home and i will not be.

Does VA allow you to purchase a small multi-family and live in one of the units?

I understand cashflow and making money will come in 7-10 years.my situation: I live in the Bay Area but housing is out of my price range.

I live abroad in Bermuda and I'm currently unable to buy property there due to restrictions and transaction taxes.

I used to live in South Florida and have been to Hollywood many times, but I am unfamiliar with this specific area.

I'd rather see you learn by doing, investing that $30,000 or so and making some mistakes, than just spending it on education and ending up with nothing but a little knowledge.You can also check out LAREIC https://lareic.com/   or maybe if you live somewhere else another local club. 

Originally, I lived in the main portion of this house and rented the mother-in-law suite (primary bedroom) separately on Airbnb.

I live in NY and was looking in Detroit, MI, Cleveland, OH and Philadelphia, PA areas.
