Here is a good read on lending/buying in a community property state like AZ - https://gustancho.com/fannie-mae-guidelines-on-community-pro...You didn't say, but I am assuming you are in AZ.

That said, many of the issues you pointed out have more to do with the policyholder than the product often times and ironically are parallels to what I'm certain to be issues many of YOUR clients face (inability or lack of desire to understand finances, nuances of financial planning, budgeting, investment options, taxes, retirement planning, estate planning, etc.). 

But the power of a house hack is not from the cashflow after you leave, its in the immediate reduction of living costs you get while living there and the incredibly low down payment options you can use.  

If you are in the corporate world and are tired of having to go into the office or having zoom calls in your underwear with a nice shirt and tie on or if your are self employed, what are your options for retiring early?

It's normal to feel a mix of excitement and nerves – it's all part of the journey.With your short-term rental in NY no longer an option, flipping could be a solid entry point to build up some capital for future ventures like buy-and-hold properties.Choosing the right market to start is key.

I figured I would come on here and ask folks on creative ways to utilize this alongside financing options to scale into the multi units space while not waiting another 4-6 year period to repeat the process.

I got some useful info here, the reason I want to look at this option is to tackle larger deals without 20% down.

I've thought of 3 different approaches - 1. co-borrow...multiple parties on deed, entitled to % rent & depreciation based on investment, have "access" to property2. co-sign...multiple parties not on deed, negotiate % rent & depreciation based on investment, no legal access to property3. side-deal...parties gifts the down payment, operator must qualify for loan, all other details TBDAre there more approaches/options?
