Hi there @Ryan Cox.

With regards to how many opportunities to evaluate a month. I would say that first thing you need to do is Identify your target markets first. Then sign up to be notified of all deals that come up in that or those market and analyze everyone of them. At first it will be a little more work but as time goes you will instantly know what is a POTENTIAL good deal vs what is outright bad deal.  Save the potential good deal for your future reference and to compare against. I use a spreadsheet called Buy-Hold-Evaluator (you can find it on FilePlace section) and it enables me to automatically save a deal on a separate tab where i can easily compare it against others. 

Since you're a pro member, you have access to BP calculators. But you also find other calculators in the files section  https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/category/sprea...

I am not sure of the details of your contract but It seems like your landlord might have violated Idaho State law by not explicitly stating end date of the contract on the lease and also not specifying termination process.

Here is the Idaho State Attorney document outlining these terms.The document also outlines your rights as a tenant

http://www.ag.idaho.gov/publications/consumer/LandlordTenant.pdf

I would recomend sharing this document with you landlord to help justify your reason for terminating contract.

I am a landlord myself and i would not want one of my tenants to terminate contract, that is why i make every effort to follow state laws to the letter.

As a courtersy i recommend that you should give at least 30day notice and please allow landlord to show the house to potential new tenants and make the house presentable.  

See you there Jeff and everyone

Looking forward to seeing all you guys there.

Hi there @Eric Wold 

I have properties in Caldwell area and i have not had any problem finding great quality tenants. Actually right now I am in the middle of buying another property in Caldwell. As an investor i love Caldwell. I have been blessed and fortunate to grab a few great deals in Caldwell. I have nothing but love for Caldwell just as much is do for most of Boise metropolitan area. 

Hi @Ajay A. I am not a house hacking expert or BRRR expert coz i have never done both. So here is my two cents from a Buy-Hold investor point of view.

1) Leverage as much as you can. I would not recommend 65% down. If this is your first primary residence then just put 3.5% down and use the other 61.5% towards your next investment

2) It depends with what is your goal and current situation. If you have no urgent need to make quick cash then go for the long term cash making option.  

3) Remember with house hacking your likely to qualify for the Idaho reduced tax on primary residence. So you should expect tax to be about  486.  Just google about

4) If you cant decide between hacking and BRRR then i would recommend you put 3.5% on this duplex and hackit then use the other 61.5% to buy the next investment that you can BRRR
