One of my loan officers that focuses on residential asked me to come along to a presentation to a large real estate shop in Tampa.

Gotcha,Hate to hear you had a bad experience. 

In order for you to find information on school district, crime rates, neighborhood comparsions, etc, you will need to do extensive research or have an agent assist you on it.

Hi @Logan SearlesWelcome to the world of REI!

Verification of Income:Request pay stubs, bank statements, or letters from employers to verify their income and employment status.

House hacking has so many advantages including dipping your feet into landlording, reducing housing payment, dealing with people, reduced housing expense (ideally), it's hard to pass up.

You’ll deduct interest paid as a business expense, but like all flips, the profit gets taxed as active income when you sell.Subject-To Financing: You take over the seller’s mortgage payments without formally assuming the loan.

while this typically is not enough to give you solid answers, i do believe it will be too small for most, if not all, real estate lenders. 

Rent has to exceed PITIA. 

Because instead of collecting one rent check per month, you’re collecting multiple payments from different tenants.
