Hi Dylan,Thanks for posting, I am also new to the forum and looking to invest in my first property using the FHA house hacking method as well. 

It doesn't show real nice, lots of yard clean up, fix falling facia, new surrounds and fixutres in bathrooms new counter tops in kitchens and fresh paint my realtor/property manager thinks it'll will appraise close to $80k she sells a lot of small multis in the area from her owners.  

I'm checking out a tenant and he did an amazing job cleaning. 

The government pays you the rent, not the renter.A second option is going a little slower and doing the BRRR method to get them 100% financed.

I heard good things about Clean Slate Credit Repair and Reliant Credit Repair.

You'd need to wait months or years to pull out a good gain unless you do a stellar rehab.Any method of investing carries risk.

So the deposits on the C-class rental can actually be equal to the deposit on a home renting for twice as much.The lower priced rental will also be a smaller floorplan with tile and laminate flooring instead of carpet, which saves on carpet cleaning and new carpets, and repainting on a pure sf basis.

I recommend including instructions on how to return keys, how to clean the unit, and when you will return the deposit.

You also have to remember they are migratory and probably not concerned with keeping your house clean and in good repair like a family that is established in one location.I have accepted some of these in the past but I'm pretty picky.

I have not been very aggressive with this method though.
