I could obtain a real estate loan here, but interest rates are crazy high.

Purchase price: $50,000 Cash invested: $4,000 5 bedroom 2 bath house located next to Western Illinois University - All in for 80k and rents have pushed to 2,100 / mo without any utilities included.

House-hacking is way too trendy. 

I originally posted that I wanted to do some house hacking.

Here is what I learned:A great deal spread will trump any expensive lending termsYou need to be liquid, a lot more than you thinkGetting the exit you want will depend on the finishes in the house because all those ARVs you looked up had very nice finishes I'm sure. 

We were going to then take some of that money and take a chunk out of a higher interest rate credit card.  

I house hacked a property that has 9.4 acres, and has a duplex and single family home on the property.

I’m a small landlord with only 2 houses.

We encourage the investors that we work with to only look at houses that are 1-3 months from completion.  

The house has an ADU, we would live in it, and rent out the main house (3 bed/2 bath).
