So consider how much asset protection means to you and be willing to potentially pay more because you'll have less lending options available to you, the more complicated you make your entity structure.Hope this helps.

What options do I have?

You could give them the option to re-up the lease with the $50 increase and lock the rate in for a year or go month-to-month at market value which would be a $200 increase.

But tax purposes, just getting a mortgage on your primary is probably still going to be the best option. 

Hi Bigger Pocket Fam,I am new to the house hacking process and need help hacking a 4BR and 2.5Bath single-family home.

This way you are coming out of pocket with little money and then can refi after the property is rented out and can ideally get all the capital you invested and pay off the hard/private money lender

If you do, you could give them an option for a month to month lease if they use you to purchase their new home.If that is not an option, I would stick to the lease end date of June 30th.

Ricardo,You have a couple of options if you decide to go in with "All cash" you can do a delayed financing loan after you close that will give you back 80% of your purchase price, plus any renovations/repairs.

If I do go the property management route - can i get a limited service option (say in which I find the tenant, collect rent, handle most maitnenance issues) and they primarily are liasoning with my vendors during US business hours and handle any urgent maintenance issues?

Option 2: Purchase additional properties and build portfolio I know that there are some tax implications to no having the mortgage payment to consider.
