There is a way to do shared access if you are not concerned about this.There may be other options out there, but this one does not require a plumber and is easy to install.

Fair point, but not necessarily concerning: this is still job growth, right?

Start by learning a lot, meeting people, looking over deals, and choosing a keen spot.

My current strategy is to maximise equity over cash. 

You can often talk to them before you take over the property to see if they would like to extend or vacate upon a change of ownership.

I purchased my first property in Tampa in 2019, and it has been a long-term rental over the past year.I am currently looking for my next property, which I want to be a BRRRR/house hack.

Should I have concerns or is this a legitimate opportunity? 

Over the long run everything appreciates, but there will be a dip coming in some capacity so I’m not sure that fits either. 

I invest all over the city.

You, as the property buyer and payer of the note, need to ensure that the monthly payments are affordable based on the rental income generated from the property.The terms of the note (interest rate, monthly payments) should be structured in a way that aligns with your rental income and financial capabilities.We can go over how to do this if you would like.
