The table with the lighted mirror is actually a dresser, but I appreciate your point — we do have a desk setup in the main bedroom that I’ll make sure to highlight better. 3.

I’ve lived in my property for three years now and am considering renting out one of the rooms.My main question is whether it makes more sense to convert to a conventional loan or stay with my FHA loan.

It’s the main reason why so many homeowners have delayed their move in recent years.

I think the easy answer is that some people buy vacation homes as actual vacation homes, not cash flowing rental investments.Even before short term rentals became main stream there were thousands of people buying homes for personal use, and just letting them sit empty for 340 days of the year.So if people can use them for the 25 days or whatever they want, and rent them the other 340 days to subsizide the mortgage then that is even more appealing.In short, no one is buying in those areas for cash flow. 

The main reason for this is because the cash flow is better than single family homes.

This also puts the effort to remove their stuff items on the tenant.good luck So what you're saying is in Ohio it's about the same level of risk as a lighting strike, but in other places it's about the same level of risk as a Hippopotamus attack?

My wife and I have used house hacking as our main investing strategy, and I’ll be honest: early cash flow isn’t always the main benefit.A lot of first-time house hackers expect strong cash flow right away, but it’s more realistic to think of it as cost offsetting.

Now if things go well my main concern is, based on my current situation is it safe to start and invest morethan 80% of my savings?

Focused on the Southeast market and mainly interested in syndications, especially apartment buildings.

My main question is how do people house hack with little to no money down, and is it possible for me to apply for a loan without having a stable income or W-2s , but a stable co-signer like a family member who supports my vision.
