@Kevin Si,Even the best lenders have their 'moments', so I would even be cautious to this end, but I think its important to go with a lender that complements your strategy in investing.

The leap should be underpinned by understanding the risk and gathering as much information as needed to fully understand the investment and the risks involved as well as understanding the exit strategy. 

House hacking can be an excellent strategy, especially for creating financial and time freedom.

Real estate investors employ various exit strategies depending on their goals, market conditions, and investment properties.

Hey Jason,What are your financing strategies for this?

Primarily due to rate hikes (compounded by the lack of an adequate exit strategy) and subsequent market change but also exceeding our preliminary budget.

With that you get personalized strategy, education, direction, accountability, motivation and lots more.So, the bottom line is figure out what your short term and long term goals are.
