I only need an apartment with 1 bedroom and an office space.

The example has a woman who is a Widower and lives in a 3 Bedroom regulated apt, but was not asked to down size after her family reduced in size.In defense, however, I would ask how often does this happen?

House hacking is a great idea and there are some decent places that I would consider finding a 2 or 3 bedroom on the island. also consider looking out in Jersey, PA or the Hudson Valley.

The estimated NOI and cap rate value the property at around $750k.Are there any other creative financing strategies that I could employ to acquire this property? 

Purchase price: $225,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Sale price: $340,000 Three level, single family home, 5 bedroom, 3 bathrooms.

All studio and 1 bed rooms.

Overall, I think we spent about $15,000 on fully fitting out our 2400 sqft 4 bedroom 3 bath home.

Being an out-of-state buyer in CA while coordinating a move from the east coast, does it make sense to explore a vacation rental option in the area of Palm Springs with the intention of buying a 3-bedroom and renting out the rest 2?

So just so I am on the same page: If I were to instead buy a SFH and rent out bedrooms, would this no longer be an issue?
