Hi Crystal!

One thing that really helped me was making TONS of flash cards and flipping through them. Everyone learns differently of course, but I found these critical for at least me passing the test. There are a decent amount of practice tests online that I would recommend, some you have to pay for but there are many that are free that will let you keep taking them over and over!

Good luck, you got this!

@Joseph DeCola

Thank you so much Joseph! That is amazing! That sounds like a very interesting experience and was extremely smart to refinance recently. Have you had any issues with anyone getting along with this type of model?

Thank you,

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had any experience househacking in the Greater Boston Area with single family rentals by the room?

I am considering my options for my first househack, and heard a BP podcast recently where someone bought a sfr in an expensive market and rented by the room to achieve some pretty wild cashflow. Given it sounds like it provides a much bigger challenge living with your tenants, but sounds like potentially a higher reward for your efforts.

Does anyone have any experience?

Thank you,

Kyle Curtin

@Steve Morris

That is definitely true, it seems like there are definitely many more different variables with oil than gas. I’ll be sure to keep those in mind as well! Thank you so much Steve!

@Kris H.

Those are very good ideas, I’ll be sure to keep those in mind as well! Thank you Kris!

@Colleen F.

@Wayne Brooks

@Wayne Brooks

Awesome! Thank you so much Wayne!!

Hi everyone!

I have started to run numbers on properties daily, and have seen oil heat instead of gas in a variety of units. Would the best bet be to aquire a past oil bill for a property, or can you estimate a rough number per bedroom/ unit? How do you like to factor in this expense?

Thank you,

Kyle

Hi everyone!

I had a question, if you start off with an FHA 3.5% down loan for a property, do you need exactly 20% equity in the property to refinance into a conventional and recapture that FHA loan?

Thank you,
