    In need of some House Hacking Advice.

    Hey guys, came back with an update. I decided to pull the trigger on the Repair Escrow option. I'm not entirely sure how that is going unravel but I'll find out when we get to that point. I put in an offer at asking price and the owner accepted. I've got an inspection team scheduled for 3pm...

    In need of some House Hacking Advice.

    Hey guys! Quick update, I looked into what envision said and it looks like lenders will only do a 15% downpayment on a conventional loan because it's a triplex and I make over $65,000 a year. So right now I am looking at two options. OPTION #1: Finance the property under an FHA 203k loan...

    Envision! Dude, I was really hoping you'd catch some wind of this. I'm taking action on everything that you wrote right now. I want this house! I'm gonna do some research and give my lender the run down and if she won't play I'll find someone who will. I think the selling the bitcoin is a good...

    In need of some House Hacking Advice.

    Hi WJK! Thank you for your insight. I am ready to get my hands dirty with this property. At the moment I don't know much about being handy but I am confident I can learn through friends and youtube. Part of the appeal of starting this process is to gain experience as an on-site landlord and...

    In need of some House Hacking Advice.

    Oh wow MJ! I just bought my cofounders your book TMFL, I'm a really big fan. A few notes on the Milwaukee market. Homes are dirt cheap compared to other markets and rents are fairly average which makes it a perfect playing field for house hacking. We had a showing yesterday and the electric...

    Thank you very much, this is solid advice. I'd be liquidating my assets if I purchased this. At least my bitcoin.

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I first read this book when I was around 16. I'm incredibly grateful I found it this early in my life and I don't know what I'd be without it.

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I listened to the entire book with my roommate on our way to work every day. It felt good to know that there are other people out there that share my mindset. I feel less lost.

    Starting a new business make sure to have the following.....

    Just make sure to actually start the business. It's really easy to fall into an action faking cycle by preparing. You bought the domain and registered social media accounts. Filed an LLC and bought business cards. Then before you know it 2 months went by and you haven't even made a sale.

    Awesome @Rabby! I'll be sending you a PM. I've gotten 7h of sleep almost every night. Funny enough my roommate was binge-watching Breaking Bad right outside my room the night my app was supposed to go live. I had dreams about code as my brain tried to decompress all the abuse from the past few...

    Please help - developer asking for more after mostly done

    Next go around you should probably have access to the repo. The fact that you don't have any of the code is a major disadvantage and pretty risky.
