Remember real estate is generally a long term investment and plan accordingly.

Start with a marketing plan.

It currently is tenant occupied until October 2024 and after they move out I plan to use as a short term rental.

@Bruce Tieuhouse hacking is a great way to get started and I think your plan is great - but I would reset your expectations on the numbers:1. the goal of a house hack isn't to live for free. 

HI David..Someone in your office will need to obtain their NMLS Mortgage brokerage license but we have a complete system for RE professionals like Agents, Tax Professionals, Attorneys and Builders that enable you to be involved and compensated without the full responsibility of processing loans (which is not fun!)

There has to be some kind of legal process for this.

If it matters to the conversation: I'm planning to sell my STR in Wisconsin Dells soon and roll that gain into this commercial building. 

Right now, my plan is to have my wife do more of the business while I take on a full-time job and do the business part-time.

We're in the early stages of planning a garage conversion in Los Angeles.

Etc.Obviously, I need to reach out to some contractors which I am in the process of doing.
