Make sure you put money in your budget for a few trips before pulling the trigger.

The easiest way to start investing in real estate is househack which I was planning on for a while before pulling a trigger.

JIm I think the issue especially in todays market buyers might look at 10 15 20 houses before they pull the trigger are they really going to call 15 to 20 listing agents ???

Hi BP community, I'm a junior studying engineering and I'm starting to strategize for my first house-hack, and I hope to pull the trigger in about 12-18 months.

If that scenario doesn’t include financial suicide, bankruptcy, death, or something similar, then knowing that I’ll be ok in the worst situation helps with pulling the trigger. 

I have two 3-family homes and 1 duplex, none of which trigger the commercial loan requirement.

It also triggers your taxable gain, but merely defers it over 30 years. 

I did a lot of homework on them and met with them several times before pulling the trigger. 

That triggered us having to pay transfer taxes, as the state treats an LLC as a disregarded entity, even if it contains the same members.Most of our clients invest using an LLC as their preferred corporate structure.
