There's no right or wrong way to finance your investments as long as you cash flow.

For almost as long as I have been doing this, people have been "house hacking" properties and multi-units have nearly been impossible to come by in any area that is a good "location" (unless you had the foresight and ability to endure hard times brought by depreciation in places like humboldt, pilsen, portage park, etc).

The risk is transferred to the lender to an extent, as long as the debt is non-recourse. 

@Krisdeon Slack Using HML's can be a great way to start so long as you ensure the deal is profitable.

As long as I find out the auction were from 1st lien's trustee, then I could go ahead to participate bid?

The landlord then said to me as long as someone is in "possession" of the unit, I would still be liable.I ask if this person does not qualify for their own lease, what coarse of action to I have to get my name off the lease.  

@Nick Stenger,It can be done and it is not pushing the envelope as long as you have an area that is exclusively used for business within your home.  

As long as you have a rental income and make your payments it doesn't matter unless of course you decide to sell.

Bottom line as long as you have the ability to repay and the valuation of the asset is sound you won't have an issue finding a lender willing to work with you but your first question will be "do you offer non-recourse loans".  

As long as you have it documented and they ruined the microwave.
