I have a VA loan option from when I was in the military I have not used and have the down payment I’d need for our next residence so I don’t necessarily need to sell in order to buy my next house.

I told him I needed a few days to think about it, and after I told him I’d pass on the course this was his response… Personally I don’t think this or any program is worth it just because there is plenty of information out there.

Hey Luis, I'd recommend finding an agent in Houston that knows house hacking.

I'd rather go with a conventional loan to get a lower rate and fee.

Given the timeline and the nature of these expenses, I'd appreciate any insights or advice from those familiar with tax regulations in such situations.Additionally, I'd like to know if I can claim depreciation, mortgage interest, homeowner's insurance, utilities, HOA dues, and other expenses associated with the rental units of my home from 09/08/2023 to 12/31/2023.

I'd imagine the same could be true of posting a for-sale sign in the front of the house, a free craigslist ad, or an email to one of my existing contacts saying 'hey, this is for sale!'

I'd go with a curtain rod. 

If you'd like a second opinion, I'd be glad to take a look for you. 

I realize this is an older thread but figured I'd ask.

I've been doing some research for a while, but I'd really appreciate advice from people who are already house hacking.
