The trash pickup does come each week, bi-weekly trash could be done but each week is ideal.

So if you're contributing 50k to the deal, then you should be pocketing (ideally) 5000 per year and you would split the equity in the property that accrues over time (if you were to both co-sign).

Why can’t you make the house a rental and rent it to yourself for $1/month, then sublease it to AirBNB customers.

Househacking is definitely the way to go to get started... granted I was always told by mentors of mine that living in a property is ideal before going through with a non-owner occupied investment.

I deal with PLENTY of Boomers & Greatest Generation folk who certainly do better when the outreach & drip approach is human and via the phone.

@Ed Goble  I'm also with Theresa's and Rick's posts above, if you have no mortgage or car payments, you should be saving thousands per month ideally.  

I think my best best is to secure an FHA or FHA 203k loan, find myself a nice multi-family, house hack and ideally crate some cash flow.Being a new investor this is obviously a big leap for me and something I think I would really enjoy.

Examples: modeling, escorts, sales of hair products.It should not be deductible to just maintain professional appearance, as in traditional sales, executive jobs, customer service etc.

The only way I know to do that is to dump info from the software above into a big ugly custom spreadsheet I’ve been using.
