@Ivan Nunez My recommendation for your situation is to start with wholesaling (double closing or assignment,) since you don't have to use your money or credit.

The key is to buy right.

Great points made all around, but one of the primary factors to house hacking is to get "primary residence" rates on a house that eventually becomes an investment property after you occupy it.In order to make an informed decision for your scenario, ask your lender to run the actual numbers... taking into account your credit, down payment, property type, primary vs. investment property, etc.

An obvious sign of a scam artist is to loudly and belligerently threaten action for being "defamed."4.

Just like these folks post on BP  hey I don't know anything about NPN I would like to partner with someone.. they are relying on that someone to run the show.. let me tell you I had a 4 hour grilling over this with a state financial investigator who was one sharp attorney.. and with my attorney we argued back and forth up and down.. but it does not matter.. the remedy is to take it to law court for 100k and see who is right the regulator or my attorney..

My short-term goal is to get into flipping.

The best and most accurate way is to have a realtor pull comps for you.The next best way is to look up recent sales on Realtor.com, Redfin, Zillow, etc.Make sure you look for properties that are similar in size, condition, location ,etc.You want the properties you're using as comps to be as similar to your property as possible.The best comps to use will be the CLOSED sales within the past 12 months.

The first step is to get the contract signed so I would focus on that. 

My goal is to own 600 units by 2030 by using the BRRRR method.

The right answer is to get a 5th meter in your name for it.
