If it was solely my decision I would buy a new building to house hack every 14-16 months and build my portfolio using low money down owner occupied loans.

I flat rate the water by person in each unit, include it in the monthly rent and pay directly.

I have recently become incredibly interested in real estate and have been studying up in all my free time for the past month or so.

These are generally business loans based on assets and income of the property often structured as DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans.

We pay $2K month credit card debt (used to set-up the STR’s) get $5K from Social Security, leaving $3K to live on.

Fast forward a few months, I had fired half of their "great employees".

If someone tells you it's a 3-month rehab, it will be 6-12 months.

You will have to get permits and disclose your contractor ...AB 968 requires the seller of a singlefamily residential property to disclose work done on the property, if the seller obtained title of the property within the previous 18 months.

We have a group right now of about 15-20 that meet monthly (lately less with going into summer).

@Daniel Mendez As much as possible.If we do a holding agreement to take the unit off the market we try to get them to pay the first month rent and any other move in costs other than the security deposit, which they pay at lease signing.
