I can get up to 30k/ unit for a multi family home in renovations but must rent to low income for 10 years."

Add in that money goes out many months before any generated income, the worse financing options versus purchase financing, the detraction of something (even if it is just yard space) from the primary unit, the work involved even hands off is at least as high as a BRRRR but a brrrr can provide an infinite return. 

Learned a lot and feel as if I could learn a lot more from servicing loans (particularly purchase loans) but feel like I am making good connections in PM/RE at my current job.... 

Look at the existing inventory in you're area, find an investor agent who has experience with house hacking, pick the best option currently on the market that fits your budget and make the offer. 

There is also a basement that currently doesn't have a specific use.

I can always turn this into a LTR but with the current rates I would be losing money every month.

My earned income will be going towards my own house and living expenses with little left over for investing out of pocket.How did you overcome the challenge of not having enough money for your first deal?

Currently in the information gathering stage.

When searching for properties I’ve come across a lot that current rents are below market rent.

Hello Everyone,I’m thrilled to share an exciting project currently under development in Washington, which boasts significant rental income potential.
