Its even better sometimes because its on their money, not yours.  

Having someone that can be relied on is better than getting cheap that isn't done, or isn't done well.

As a private lender for first time borrowers, I want to see low LTVs <70% and a good grasp on how the deal is going to go, what exit strategies are possible, and realistic expectations.

the market is tough right now and the more work you put in, the better off you'll begood luck

No doubt that house hacking has become more challenging in the last few years but it is often still a much better option compared to both renting and buying a primary home just to live in.

Both deal with development of land, but Hamza takes it to full development himself which seems better.

I think especially when you are starting out the more places you can post the better!

BUT focus on the RE end you will be better off !

@Angelica Rose - you can definitely break even or better househacking.

My friend said even if this person could be struggling and be late a couple of times a year or may not make 1 month rent once a year, since she is a long term tenant per her past and paid her rent without fail every month, and is motivated to make the new rental situation work for her financially, long term, if she stays 5 years, although occasionally could struggle a bit, I still will do better than most other tenant choices (frequent turn over, etc.)My rent is still covered by my past tenant at the moment even though the property is vacant as the Lease has stipulations for that the past tenant has honored faithfully.
