I'll make sure to take pictures and write notes on the stuff I find fishy.

I'd start by writing what you want your new life to look like then match that to a few areas that can deliver it, the rest will take care of itself.

@Marie Kyle -you used the word “alis” twice where I think you meant to write “alias” …You can ask support or a moderator to fix that if it is a typo.

Are now going for $1500 a month and I am aware that your now on lease that ends at $1300 a month.I would like to know if I leave you in there and your willing to re write a new lease for a year. 

Use the  bills for your court case, those I am sure you can get in writing.

"In writing or it didn't happen" --Statute of Frauds.For the house hack as with any other investment deal, the less cash you put down on one deal the more cash you have available for other deals. 

I am writing out a month to month lease, and I want to be specific with the code of Ordinance. 

You can write in market rents as your gross potential rents, but add loss to lease to account for the difference between your current and market rents.

If you don't know how to do the math and when broker or friend will help you then you should stay out or the real estate business or just cross your fingers and pray.As for the area you invest in, I would definitely stay away from investing out of your area and I can write books on the reasons why you lose a huge percent of your potential income, or even lose money and hate the real estate business.Never forget that nobody represents you.

Hello BP, I'm writing to find some guidance and opinions for my first deal based on the state of the housing market. getting my first property right now as a college student in this market is daunting to say the least.
