I just saw a off market house for sale in Grass Valley a few days ago.

Here is the backstory: I started buying single-family homes in Milwaukee 15 years ago and pretty soon migrated from C into B neighborhoods ("A" would be 500k plus here) and some of my friends invest in larger MF so I thought that's the next step for me as well and started shopping for a commercial deal maybe about 50 units.The issue is that I did not want to go into the affordable housing space and assets in the quality I liked were so insanely high priced that I would have needed 40% down to meet DSCR guidelines - not to mention rehab cost to bring it up to our standards.

I consulted a lawyer and a few other investors to see if there was anything else to try to do, but they all told me the only way I was likely to see my money was if they went to try to buy a house one day they would need to pay off my "Lien" before proceeding. 

I have a good income producing job, however, I have a 6 member household with teens, preteens, and children who are eating up my house like Pacman, lol. 

I would be househacking my first property whether it's living in one of the units for a year while renting the other side simultaneously or living in the entire home for the first year and then renting it afterwards. 

I list on Zillow, primarily communicate with them over Zillow messages and then give our remote login code to enter the home. 2) Maintenance between tenants - This one will be tricky as I will have to transfer all utilities to my name and send multiple vendors to the house for getting the house rent ready.

Is this for a primary residence house hack?

Des Moines has more people, houses, and price ranges.

Are you looking to house hack or buy & hold?
