Probably, but "you can get away with it" isn't a long-term strategy. 

Me and my two buddies just jumped into real estate investment and are thinking of trying out a house hacking strategy.

@Patricia C.When you're looking to purchase a third home but are already maxed out on your mortgage capacity, there are several strategies you might consider to improve your chances of getting approved for another mortgage.

Spent a year (and counting, lol) fixing it up but I personally love the strategy for acquiring new properties. 

As a private lender for first time borrowers, I want to see low LTVs <70% and a good grasp on how the deal is going to go, what exit strategies are possible, and realistic expectations.

It depends on your strategy: are you looking to do a long-term rental or short-term?

I am looking for Flips or BRRRRs I believe initially to build up some cash and/or equity and cash flow, but would be open to having my strategy/goals challenged.With my previous business, I never took a paycheck and grew the revenue from ~80k to >2million annual revenue in 3-3.5 years and navigated a seller finance purchase of a overlapping/competing business.

@Anna Greta Taylor Cost segregation and bonus depreciation can be an excellent tax strategy!
