We’ve been House Hacking for the past 4 years. Will be upgrading soon but it’s been an awesome journey. What questions do you have? (We’re in a TriPlex).

Are you planning on going for a SFH or what do you mean by upgrading? Congrats to you by the way!!

Adding a day bed could allow it to be more of a flex space with a bed as those above have previously mentioned.

I wouldn't worry too much about a dresser if there is a closet already

What about a home with a basement that has a separate entrance? A lot of our house-hacking clients in Denver and Colorado Springs go that route. Either a walk-out basement or a back door on the main level that goes straight into the stairs to the basement.

One thing to note with those, however, is the zoning. Not sure about where you're looking, but anywhere in Colorado here, if the home is zoned single-family then you can rent that separate space I'm talking about as long as you live there, but as soon as you move out, you can only rent the whole home as one unit.

The trick then is to find a SFH with a potential separate entrance to the basement that is zoned multi-unit. There are lot of such homes here in Colorado Springs.

Also, don't let the lack of a duplex stop you from buying. It's better to get a single or a double sooner rather than waiting two years to find that home run. If that means buying a straight-up SFH, living with your girlfiend in it for two years and then moving on to another home and turning the first home into your first rental, then great. It's a solid option.

Good luck!

Totally agree with this. In my market, the multi families are very expensive and the SFH with the MIL basements usually pencil out better.

I would recommend trying to find an investor friendly agent who also potentially owns or manages properties in that area. they can give you the most accurate data.

Awesome thank you I will! To clarify, I have a had a couple of STR in past but always used prop mgmnt company so hoping this will be a better option!

I would make sure the listing stays on your account. the PM or cohost shouldn't have the airbnb listing on their account. In case you ever want to make a change you want to retain the rights to the listing with all the reviews.

Call code enforcement. They can temporarily condemn the house since it has no electricity and is therefore uninhabitable.

Then they should be able to remove him in 24 hours.

I just did this here in SC.

Sheriff gave the person 15 minutes to get there stuff and get out.

great tip
