Particulars:1) 1st SFH rental property cash flows $400 and we have a 2 year lease agreement that ends in 2025. 2) 2nd SFH I currently live in, I would rent out and probably experience a negative cash flow of --$100 cash flow for first year, break even 2nd year, and build little cash flow moving forward.

I was wondering if there's anyone here from the the area that has experience with house hacking to pick their brain a bit.

The good news is, with your experience and equity built, you're in a fantastic position to jump in.The key thing to remember with these larger deals is that they're rarely done solo.

I would love your experiences because my alternative is to spend a ton of money on airdna data! 

Sorry to hear about your experience. 

This is my first experience -- either they are professional deal killers in general, or I ended up dealing with 3 in a row who happened to be deal killers. 

@Bernard Reisz So in your experience would Schedule E rental income qualify someone for a Solo 401k?

@Engelo Rumora, I want to start with the fact that I have no experience with your company, and do not want this to imply all turnkey providers are the same.But ultimately, I think there are two factors at play:A) like you state, some people do just want to do it themselves and learn.  

Maybe, but I have a lot of trust in the team given the experience from my first property.
