The house I will get is in a lower income area, currently worth $95-100k, and she still owes about $25k on it.

If you've been in similar situation, have you found it brings an issue down the road with future tenants or current?

I'm curious to know how you guys go about advertising room rentals. my current tenant who rented out the whole room will be leaving and I think the next best step is to do room rentals.

At the current cost to build estimate $150/sqft, It appears a 1500-1700 sqft new construction will need to sale for around 399,9k to make a decent profit.

Currently, I have limited capital, but I'm saving up.

STR's are currently not allowed unless you occupy the property.

Principal balance currently at 314kProperty Details: It's essentially a "2-in-1" property, with the main unit rented out for $1,900/month and an attached ADU bringing in an additional $1,200/month.

I don’t see why they would send email to current members. 

I’m currently in the process of searching for my first property, which I hope to house hack and eventually convert into a long-term rental. 

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting.
