Shahee good day to you. Am Tony living in Maryland. I have been thinking of buying a house but i don't want to live in Maryland so we are looking to move to either Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina. Listening to you now makes me wanna go only for multi family home. How much cash do we need to save . And which state would you advise best .

[@catrinaxoxo9153]

Love it!

[@pcasseus]

I wasn't keen on being a landlord as a first-time homeowner some years back. But, since I live in NJ, I discovered that being in owner occupied property does exempt you from a lot of the state and town landlord/tenant laws. For instance, I can be a lot more selective about the tenants in my units and not have to worry about discrimination allegations. Also, my town recently passed rent control, and it doesn't apply to me cause its owner occupied. Now, these exemptions only work if the property is 4 units or less.

[@ShaheedahHill]

Thanks for watching!

[@jusTOOfresh]

Great points!

[@kenyonbissett3512]

Great way to be a homeowner and get rental units at the same time. 4plex live in 1 unit. Save what your payment for a unit would be for 2 years to buy another 4plex. If you start at 22 yrs, do this 2 (8 units) or 3 times (12 units) and hire a management company at 25-26yrs. Now you can buy your home and start investing in index funds or dividends for a stock and bond portfolio. At 30-35yrs re evaluate. Consider selling one 4 plex and paying off the others to be debt free and get 100% income. This might allow you to be financially free at 30-40yrs old.

[@ShaheedahHill]

Thanks for sharing Kenyon!

[@yunggrampa727]

Ya make this seem so ideal but many programs you need to have 6 months reserves to cover the payment.

[@kenyonbissett3512]

@@yunggrampa727 that’s emergency savings, a good idea. I say a 4 plex, but a duplex would also work. If you live in a 2-3 bedroom place you could have roommates to help save the money you need.

[@e.h.4584]

[@peachesmay4948]

Thank you Shaheedah. Happy Holidays. Could you please do a video on converting a single family into a multifamily? My cousin owns a house, and the downstairs is like a regular one-bedroom apartment, with a kitchen and bathroom. It's not a basement apartment. For some crazy reason, they considered it a single family. It's in a single-family zone. I believe he wants to rent his downstairs, but he has to seek the approval of the township first.

[@ShaheedahHill]

It has a lot to do with taxes and zoning, the area needs to be zoned for mult-family in many areas. They should ask planning and zoning in their area to see if that is allowed.

Do you have any suggestions in my situation? I am a 23 year old female living in Nashville, TN! I’m an immigrant helping my mom buy a house (first time home buyer). My credit score is about 693 according to Equifax. Im trying to raise it! Im not forsure where to start on this whole process and what’s available to me, but hopefully I can learn from your videos!! We found a company that has its own communities and I think the down payment was 5k and if you close before February of 2023 you can apply and see if you can get 5.75% interest (Im not forsure if this is bad or good), I guess my question would be as a first time home buyer and someone that doesn’t know much about buying a house what would you recommend I start researching or making sure I know before I buy a house!

[@casavababyistripping]

Been looking all year. In the chicago area all the deals are in bad areas. The good areas are over priced. So it makes no sense to just break even. Suburbs taxes are 10 to 15k which eats at your profit. I've started looking at single family homes. But still keeping my options open. Since house prices are dropping faster I see more profit on the single family end. If I were to buy then after a year rent it. But still trying to be patient for a multi family.

[@ShaheedahHill]

Yes, be patient something will come up soon

[@DeonVLOGS4985]

I own a multifamily on the westside of Chicago. Yes suburbs taxes are high and do eat up your profit but I wouldnt stop looking for multifamily. It's a great investment.

[@stephanietravis4215]

I owned a 2 flat near the Obama library. Keep looking for multi families in the best pockets of the bad neighborhoods. Don’t give up, Chicago has some gems on the south and west side. As you know Chicago is block by block. Find a nice block

Great informative video! Quick question, I understand that If I purchase a fha multi- family duplex, I would have to live there for a year(permanent address). I'm a traveling technician on the road for 13 weeks at a time, staying in Arbnd for my duration. Could I still stay in my traveling profession and it not be considered mortgage fraud if I don't rent out my main living space but rent out the other units?

[@ShaheedahHill]

This is a lender question for sure, but if you need to owner occupy you still should not rent out your unit. Maybe you can Airbnb it since that is short term, but be careful and check with you lender ahead of time. Thanks for watching!

[@Lynn-kr8yy]

Hi Shaheedah, this video is really helpful! I have a question, there is a restrictive covenant saying all lots shall be used solely for single family residential purpose only, does single family residential include single family rental? There is NO HOA in the subdivision. TIA！

[@ShaheedahHill]

Single family does not speak to rentals, it refers to not being used for multiple families or commercial. If you are planning to use it for rental, double check with zoning to make sure there are no restrictions.

[@jmariah6222]

Hi New subscriber here been going back watching a few of your older videos that apply to my home buying questions. Few questions I am currently under contract but I work two jobs will this be an issue? Reason I ask is while my one job is permanent been there about 5 months and my other job is a contract job that will be ending in the next two months I work both but I qualify for the loan with my one permanent job income. My lender mentioned he wouldn’t use that for the loan as in my other contract job so my question is when underwriting sees that will they want to know more or how long I plan to work it or will they just look at the one income in which I qualify for the loan anyway ? Second question so there was some miscommunication in the beginning of my process where I paid cash basically for the binder payment and my lender later let me know that they can’t use that because they can’t trace it so I went and got a cashiers check for the payment and got refunded in a check for the orginal binder payment. My question is should I depoist that now or wait until the process is over? Although the check is traceable because it’s from the title company I just don’t want them asking well why did you pay them just to have another check like why are you getting a check back. Can you let me know your thoughts I would appreciate it

[@ShaheedahHill]

Welcome to the channel, question #1 is tricky.. because your lender said they will count it although you only worked there for 5 months..it is likely because of what you were doing previously. In underwriting they are probably going to do employment verification and one of the questions usually is "do you expect employment to continue", the one that ends shortly may mention that. I would ask your lender in writing if they anticipate ANY issues with your length or employment or your employment ending. 2. Do what the lender advises you to do, you are not the first buyer to do this. Also, ask in writing so there is no miscommunication. If all the money is coming from accounts you own it shouldn't be an issue. It will come back up in underwriting. Watch my undewriting video.

[@jmariah6222]

Thank you for your prompt response. Ok yeah I was just trying to see how it would work. Yeah I typically take on contract jobs 6 months out the year in addition to my normal income. But this one is ending feb 1 and I’m supposed to close Jan 12th so I was just wondering how it works. But I know they need the contract job to verify all together 2 years income but he mentioned about not using it for the loan so not sure what that means But will follow up. Also do you have any videos that is checklist to know whether you’re getting a deal for the home you’re buying I feel like I am but then again I think my opinion may not be valid being I’m new to the process but I just look at the houses that are in the same neighborhood or zip code for the same price and they look nothing like the home I’m buying they are alll busted for that price.

Does the low down payment requirement apply if you want to build a duplex on property / land you own?

[@ShaheedahHill]

That would be a construction to perm loan so I am not sure, ask the lender if you can build multi family...I would think so. Your main issue would be zoning.

What states would you recommend for multi family home

[@ShaheedahHill]

High population states will have the most single family homes, but remember to get a multi-family with a low down payment you have to live there for at least one year, so focus on where you want to live first. All states have some single family homes. California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan are most populated.

Do you have to have a rental license to buy and rent out a duplex? I'm sure it varies from state to state. When i googled it for Minnesota it says license is needed.
