@Abby H.Shifting from house hacking to small multifamily is a great way to scale, and securing a JV partner is all about networking, credibility, and structuring a win-win deal.

I was house hacking a duplex with a VA loan and there were some beams that needed to be put up in the basement.

Did you get the house recorded with the LLC in place? 

I'm interested in investing in multi unit properties and potentially get into house hacking.

Too tenant (yes tenant) friendly and I wouldn't want to lose my house.

If he is a contractor, why not buy the house personally and pay him a fee for his services.If hes a realtor, why not just pay him a commission to buy the house.Best of luck

Hello @Fulati,With that budget, I would look for houses in East Memphis, Cordova, or Bartlett.

Section 8 may seem like a home run but I've seen houses destroyed in a years time, I would steer clear. 

If so, use your VA loan to buy a house hack there in Cheyenne.

It’s a larger house (3500 sqft. 5 bed), but is secluded, private, centrally located, and sits on nearly 3.3 acres of the East Bay Hills, with open space as far as the eye can see outside.
