@Will Dixon Interesting approach, though I feel most people here are relatively unfamiliar with / averse to that method.haha awesome stories @Jessie Walls - That all sounds about right to me!

Hey BP - hoping the awesome tax nerds can help me out with this one!

Have an awesome day!

I am reading J Scott’s “estimating rehab costs” (awesome book, highly recommend you all read it) and he makes reference in almost every chapter to bringing in a specialist to do an inspection on ABC.

For collecting rent/applications use COZY it's free and an awesome service.

@Isaac Magee that’s awesome!

That’s awesome you are actually taking steps towards accomplishing it.  

I am looking for a mortgage broker who can find me the best possible loan rates.If you're an investor like me, if you have any recommendations, that would honestly be so awesome!

Awesome to hear that you’re thinking about pulling the trigger on a house hack - it’s easily the best financial decision you will ever make if done correctly.A lot of people on BP will tell you that renting by the room is not a sound investment; that you can’t effectively manage multiple strangers in a household; that you’ll relinquish your privacy/sanity/personal space/landlord status etc etc.As someone who lives with 5 roommates (including my wife + 2 dogs) I can tell you that it’s absolutely not the big bad monster that it’s made out to be.Because you have multiple streams of income in a single property, if a tenant flakes, you still have partial coverage of your mortgage payment - not the case in a traditional rental or “luxury” house-hack.

@Phillip Henderson that's awesome!
