Hello everyone.I plan on househacking and, since multi-family is hard to come by, I have heard some people buy a SFH and live in the basement while renting out the rest of the home and renovate the basement in the process.To me it seems like it wouldn't really impact rent amounts too much unless I added bedrooms and I feel like the deal would already have to cash flow because of that I know this can be pretty nuanced but I am open to everyone's thoughts.Thank you!

@Kashta Andrade Booker I recommend moving forward that the specific city or area you plan to invest in out-of-state.

Our plan is to start our business/investment there.

I've done this myself more than once.You will want an architect (figure a few thousand for plans).

My client's plan was to live in the property for a year and then refinance, however I explained that you'll only be able to refinance to another loan type if you have enough equity (20-25%).

I do plan on managing my first property myself if it's a buy and hold, and as I accumulated more properties I will be hiring a PM company. 

We are planning to turn our primary residence into an STR at the end of this year and are looking to take advantage of accelerated depreciation if we can meet the REPS requirements.

My outstanding loan balance is 163K @ 3.5%I calculated that I'd clear 900/mo after expenses.I was planning to buy my new house for cash, but with the market where I'm moving/buying I'm having to go about 100K over what I was planning, so I'm taking out a 50K loan for that property.

30 year fixed, low interest rate DSCR BLANKET loans (put multiple 1-4 unit properties under one loan for cash out or for purchase).Ground Up Construction loans for aspiring developers with NO Experience100% Financing on Fix and Flips (just pay closing costs and prepaid taxes/insurance)Fix and Flip financing that requires no appraisalHELOCS on investment propertiesBuilder's Forwards (for medium to larger developers who want to hedge interest rates on their properties they plan to sell so they can offer "low builders rates").DSCR loans for long term AND short term rentals (I think this is becoming more and more common, but some people have still never heard of this).And so much more!  

Many resorts hire seasonal staff that needs housing.All said, if you can acquire well, and your plan is appreciation, Tahoe is an awesome place where real estate is a limited resource.Consider snow removal.
