I am also currently renting my residence while keeping one eye open to eventually buy, and I have to ask - do investors run into problems on getting a personal home loan if they have outstanding debt on investment properties?

Just look with a critical eye, but don't expect perfection.

In their eyes it worked.  

However, the reason house-hacking a MFH has so much appeal is that as your first investment being in the building allows for you to keep an eye on it.

I am also keeping an eye on a new startup cozy.co; I may give them a try next time just to compare services. 

Guess I'll just keep an eye on it for a while.

One of the great benefits to HML's that people do not talk about often is having their eyes on the project.  

I'd want clarification as to the exact problem in the eyes of the village:  1) Are more outlets required?  

Looking at another potential flip that just caught my eye in Janesville but being in the middle of a flip now funds are tied up so we will see.

Or are my eyes bigger than my stomach?
