I thought about what makes managing a good house hack and thought I would share my experiences (and would love to hear yours).1.

Make yourself the best customer.1.  

When you have STR like airBNB or VRBO DSCR does allow that income unless you can provide a previous 12 month rents received or a print out from VRBO.The alternative to that is if the lender or UW will allow the appraisal to use MTR/STR income/rent schedule if the rents and property is common to the area in terms of rent available for the apprasier to show proof.My advice to you is make sure you do your home work and deal with a seasoned Banker or Loan officer that funds multiple DSCR loans per month. 

@Gregory Schwartz  I was hoping that wasn't the case but that would make sense.

I'm just trying to make sure I understand the mechanics of how this works.

I build at simple closet with accordion doors to make it as some and cost effective as possible.

One key component is making sure there is language that outlines how the purchase price is reduced if a payment is received BEFORE the closing.

- Can they cite the owner and make them use the property only as a Duplex instead of a Triplex?

Most of the courses that promise to walk you through the process and have mentors make money . . .just not for you! 

It could make you money so that you could buy your first investment property.
