- Occupy one or two of the units until we stabilize, then maybe buy a house?

I am not house hacking.This means that’s I will get less favorable rates AND will be covering a HELOC + second mortgage with the rental income, which seems difficult.

I'm personally focused on commercial real estate, particularly affordable housing development as market conditions are good for that.

I find it beneficial to communicate my screening criteria to potential clients before they arrange a viewing or submit an application.It is useful to directly verify information with employers and landlords.Make sure to follow both your state regulations and the Fair Housing Act.

Bought a house, looking to rent it out in the next year or two and looking at short-term rentals.

Paul,    I started with house hacking and moved into buying a new SFH every two years with the eventual goal of buying a piece of real estate each year.

I am searching for resources to calculate (spreadsheet) but most available consider you are buying the house and immediately renting.

Listed the house for $549,000.

The house looked vacant and the lawn looks like it hadn’t been cut in years.

Nice amount of 60-80k houses in my area.
