@Gustavo Mendoza Honestly for a "house hack", just get leads to fill out a Zillow application and it will include a background check (I believe it charges them a small fee).

Just do a small downpayment and cashflow...rates might take a while to come back down and if they do than you can take advantage of it when they do.

You bought four of 6 units, so realistically, you are the most direct comps to their units and the true value.  

We directed people to rent redi to pre qualify.

I have a duplex that recently was renovated and located in a small town, Algood TN.

You can email me direct, I try to answer all the emails I get personally.

I found this house thru my connections and relationships in the neighborhood and purchased it directly from the owner.

So once you have that clear, then the next step is to put a plan on how you are going to acquire the homes.you can network with wholesalers or find the properties in the MLS. also, you can drive for dollars, send direct mail to motivated sellers, place signs, advertise online or on radio or billboards, etc.There are so many different ways to find properties, I usually have about 20-30 properties under contract every month.

1) make the payment directly from my HELOC account2) transfer the money from HELOC to business checking account, and then make the payment from my business checking account.
