I think diversity is great in a portfolio but so is scaling the area you are currently doing well in.

I love house-hacking for Tampa Bay for a few main reasons: 1) great long-term outlook on appreciation; fundamentally strong market and growth projections, 2) diverse opportunities of house-hacks from luxury house hacks, cheap house hacks, room by room, STR, MTR, etc. 

This is a diverse market and I would be more than happy to help you protect your investment by buying right. 

The job market is more diverse and growing faster thanks to companies like Intel moving in, which typically means more stable property values and a broader tenant pool.

The Economic Development there is focused on building competitive regional talent, diversifying the regional economy, transforming Montgomery's image and building diverse community capacity.Major economic drivers to the area include Hyundai manufacturing, Maxwell & Gunter Air Force Base, major Amazon distribution, Alabama State Capitol, Alfa Insurance, Kinpak, H2 Pharma, Dollar General transport/logistics, Dow Chemical, and Conner Industries to name a few. 

Ideally, you want to look for markets with a growing economy, diverse industries, and growing population that indicates strong rental demand.

@Emmanuel RugambaChicago is a great market for house hacking because of its affordable 2-4 unit properties, strong tenant demand, and diverse neighborhoods.

That also looks good on my credit profile and supports a healthy score.Having both the home loan and the HELOC on my credit profile helps give me a diverse mix of credit which also supports a healthy score.Now, that's what I would do and why I would do it if it worked for me.The reader's "mileage" may vary, of course.Mr.

As Bill Thomas says, “the greatest amenity in a senior community is community”, so investing in things that will promote togetherness and cooperation are high priorities for the population that I am addressing.The funding model also relies upon bringing together different groups and structuring deals to meet their diverse objectives.
