This is far from the market I practice in but it would seem building and sitting on a few of these for 5-10 years could be quite a nice bump.I like the option to buy a 20plex, clear $10k/month and replace income.

If you are worried about it, buy an umbrella insurance policy for $1 million and sleep easy.

Quote from @Patricio Acosta: First comment I would say is do not buy something because it feels good.

Took about half a year to learn how to walk, talk and even eat again, but bounced back to my love for real estate investing and the two things that transitioned me from just wholesaling to actually buying deals as an investor was creative finance and private money.Bought my first rental property in Easley, S.C. owner finance and one of my best rentals I still own today was bought subject-to! 

You mentioned buying a MTR condo.Is your income below $150,000 or are you able to claim real estate professional status?

I’m curious: are others who house hack buying homes they can just barely afford, or are you sticking closer to the ~30% housing rule and using house hacking income as an added bonus?

My friend has 3 rental properties there alone and when I asked him about buying more he said if he did buy it would be there.

Selling now would also be buying at peak and selling at rock bottom or close to it. 

What I'd like to see her do is sell the house and take that money to buy a duplex with.
