House hacking a 3 bedroom SFH

Don Ferniz Tyree

Good morning everyone,

In the near future possibly early 2020 or possibly later this year, I plan to purchase a single family 3 bedroom home and live in the master bedroom with my GF/partner for at least a year. I have to live there a year because I plan on doing the FHA loan with 3.5% down. After a year I'll move out and have someone take my place. I currently work a day job and plan to have the renters pay the mortgage and everything that I set my funds for. I will build up the cashflow for a year and since I'm still working a day job, Save up for another down payment on another single family home and do the same thing but not live in it. My goal is to focus on minimum 3 bedroom that way I can rent out the rooms individually then once I have mastered the whole process of SFH, I can move on to duplexes.

My question is... What are the pros and cons of doing this exact strategy and any suggestions and tips you can throw my way? Any help is always welcome. Thank you all for reading my post.
