Driving for Dollars: Share your stories! Good and bad

[Eric Samuels]

I’m in the middle of house hacking my first rental property and I’m thinking about my next move. I continue to hear stories of people driving for dollars and finding great deals. After going to many trials and tribulations with my first deal, I can’t help but think there are deals found by driving for dollars that ended up being bad deals due to unexpected issues with the house. Therefore, I’d love to hear some stories of driving for dollars: how quick did you pull the trigger after discovering the home? Was there anything unexpected that the inspection found, or even worse, didn’t find? How did you pay for it?

Please share!
