And that’s the foundation of the “Power of 10” framework I now teach clients.

Hi all, I'm considering a Power Purchase Agreement on both my rental property and primary residence.

@Kris Haskins Thanks for the link.

Two categories that are quietly driving some of the strongest demand today are cold storage and power-ready industrial facilities.Cold storage is being driven by grocery delivery, food distribution, and pharmaceuticals.

A lender who regularly works with house hackers may be able to factor in projected rental income, which can increase your buying power more than people realize.Please feel free to PM me if you have any other questions — always happy to help!

Wanting to build financial freedom for your family is exactly why many of us started.House-hacking a small multifamily is one of the most powerful ways to get in with limited cash, so you’re going in the right direction.

This is a major downside for properties with propane heat or intermittent power.

Short-term funding can be powerful when used correctly—but risky when misunderstood.What safeguards do you put in place when using short-term capital?

I’ve identified when I want to buy and am now focused on reverse-engineering the steps needed to execute confidently and efficiently.What I’ve done so far:-Saved for down payment and closing costs-Actively building cash reserves-Funds parked in a HYSA to season-Drafted crystal-clear buy criteria (to be finalized once buying power is confirmed)-Focused heavily on education:-Various REI podcasts-The Multifamily Millionaire Vol. 1-The Book on Rental Property Investing-Rich Dad Poor DadNext up: The Book on Managing Rental Properties and 90 Days to Your First Investment-Recently became a BiggerPockets Pro member-Planning to join my local REIA nextNext steps I’m planning:-After the holidays, get pre-qualified with a local lender-Use that to establish a ballpark understanding of buying power-At the appropriate time, complete the pre-approval process (understanding the 90-day window)-Build out my team (agent and vendors) so I’m ready to move decisively once I begin making offersWhere I’d love advice from the community:Pre-qualification vs. pre-approval-For an FHA house hack targeting a June–July purchase, is getting pre-qualified early enough for meaningful planning, or should certain steps wait until I’m within 90 days and pre-approved?

I would like to find a way to finance this property as an investment and won’t qualify for a traditional mortgage with earnings if they don’t include the rental income of one unit, I’d be willing to move out to keep the property with 2 rental units and let it grow equity and believe there is positive cash flow from doing this, though I don’t know what the cost to buyout my husband would be at this time, worst case scenario the property is valued at 850,000- with a 200,000 buyout plus existing mortgage of 410,000 meaning I would need to secure 610,000, this is a newly built net zero property with solar that generates enough power for all the needs of both units, no electric bill, no heating costs, no cooling costs.
