If I could find a duplex that sells at that number and is rent-ready, I'd actually be pretty close to 2%.The problem is that if I inverted my analysis and said, "Hey - this hits the 1% rule!"

Are you talking about house hacking yourself, and using it as a co-living property?

That means later on you can remove PMI, get a HELOC to buy more properties, etc. 

I would tell people today that if you buy a primary residence expect to stay in that home for atleast five years, especially with a FHA loan which has lower down payment as the current forecasts for home appreciation or very low which with closing costs on the buy and sell, it will take several years to have equity in the property and enough to be able to sell, so that is something also to consider.

There is no public database for property values.

This gives a better snapshot of market trends than averages, which can be skewed by high or low sales.November: $484,995December: $484,500January: $491,995 How long would it take for my home to sell?

Property owners are a prime source for collecting revenue.

She loves it.Our situation is this, we have had our home that I purchased right before 9/11 for $110k that sits on an acre property.

They had about 90k into the property.

@Dallas Rapoport where is the property?
