As for creating an LLC, I don’t think we will do that quite yet because We want to get a couple more house hack multi families as owner occupied for the better rate.

What advice would you give a couple 26 year olds looking for their first house hack?  

The 1st couple times an office staffer fresh out of college sees some of these photos or hears the story about what's going on they have this look of shock & confusion on their faces.

If I could by a good quality building or home with the above scenario using very real quality numbers then I would most definitely move forward with at least a couple to start. 

@Michael Garry - I would attend local REIA events, network with investors, and offer to work for free to shadow them.  

If you are flipping you can start in a couple different waysOption 1: base ARV off comps, not all multifamilies are created equal and depending on the area and particularly the condition this could lead you astrayOption 2: base ARV off cap rates which will need to be determined after rehab, and then price accordingly.

Also I am about to procure a line of credit on some equity i have in a couple of properties, It will cost me nothing until i use it but is 100% liquid and can have it in my account instantly.

ICSC: Join the ICSC, attend the ICSC trade shows and deal making events, make marketing materials geared towards retailers and retail tenant rep brokers.

I am looking at a deal that includes a couple of pre-hud homes.

Was only a couple hundred dollars and I was making $20k+ so it was a drop in the bucket.
