When these 2 months of training are over, I'll go back to actually living in my primary residence and house hack from there.Conclusion: This March I'll have $1094 gross income - $1175 in direct expenses, $400 of which goes straight into the pockets of people I care about (e.g. couch friend and cleaning lady neighbor).

Go into the process knowing there will be bumps in the road because you are taking the road less traveled, but in the end it will be worth it because you will have a house with most of, if not all of the deferred maintenance taken care of, favorable financing terms, and a little equity as an icing on the cakeLast thing is if you can work with a lender, 203k consultant, and contractor that have worked together successfully on deals together try your best to do so.

After you buy, just pay close attention to the condo market.
