I hope the heck I've got more than a decade to go, but just have too many play things to do that are more important than buying another house.

I am currently house-hacking and will have an empty room.

Then start shopping for houses, don't engage in FOMO or real estate agent pressure. 

But do all the other houses in the subdivision have stained fences?

Detached HousesWhen in doubt, consider the tried-and-true detached single-family house.

@Jerry Velezstrongly recommend against doing this.start with a house hack instead.make it your mission to house hack.did i mention house hacking? 

You can buy a rental house, put $60,000 down and you will have to get a non-recourse loan for the rest of the mortgage.

If one of the greatest investors of all time believes stocks are overvalued, this may be an opportune time to shed some risk and move into a more tangible asset like real estate.The Rochester housing market is a great place to consider for investment.

Im no legal expert but belief if you get foreclosed on 2nd home and you still owe money they can come put lien/go after first house.
