Use the  bills for your court case, those I am sure you can get in writing.

"In writing or it didn't happen" --Statute of Frauds.For the house hack as with any other investment deal, the less cash you put down on one deal the more cash you have available for other deals. 

I am writing out a month to month lease, and I want to be specific with the code of Ordinance. 

You can write in market rents as your gross potential rents, but add loss to lease to account for the difference between your current and market rents.

If you don't know how to do the math and when broker or friend will help you then you should stay out or the real estate business or just cross your fingers and pray.As for the area you invest in, I would definitely stay away from investing out of your area and I can write books on the reasons why you lose a huge percent of your potential income, or even lose money and hate the real estate business.Never forget that nobody represents you.

Hello BP, I'm writing to find some guidance and opinions for my first deal based on the state of the housing market. getting my first property right now as a college student in this market is daunting to say the least.

I was reading about the interest tracing rules and it seems like if I do a cash out refi (even on a primary residence) and then put that cash in a separate investment banking account, I can begin writing off interest from the investment. 1) I wanted to see if this sounds doable, and if there is guidance on what I can do with this. 

Also have the landlord write down what the rent is and that one month's rent ($XXXX) will be paid upon them leaving as per the govt rules. 

Your realtor should know what info they need and get it sorted before you start writing anything on paper.
