In years past, buyers frustrated with the competitiveness of the area’s resale market could reliably turn to new construction as an alternative.

A key thing to remember is that when you house hack your cash flow will not be as high or may even be non-existent as in my case while you live there but your housing expense is significantly reduced compared to other alternatives.

Another alternative is file an insurance claim and have your insurance company battle it out with the HOA. 

Alternatively, @Sarita Scherpereel would be a good real estate agent for that area.Also, sounds like you need to speak with a lender who understands investing, connect with @Michael Facchini or @Zack Karp, both of them work with investors and set up straight.I am not a fortune teller, but I can tell you are definitely on the right path and a property is in your future hahaReach out if there is any other way we can help you.

Will check out all the house hacking resources mentioned, be less conservative, and explore more hands on properties with expansion of cash flow alternatives.2. 

A total net worth increase of $30k+ per year, and a Net Worth ROI of ~60%.A good FHA investment will always blow any alternative out of the water.

It’s sounds like a good alternative.

@Curtis Mears an alternative would be, have him prove it to you that they are only traffic tickets.

Based on the details above, could this purchase qualify for conventional mortgage...and if not could you please offer options for alternative financing? 

Just wondering if anyone knows of some cheaper alternatives to the eco stations.
