do you have issues with the city if there are cars parked on the street or lawn?

I've filled out those little "Enter to Win" cards at the mall for a new car and had timeshare folks blow my phone up for the next 3 months.

Oversized 3 car garage. 2182 square foot total.

Your comment does bias me slightly in favor of Indy, since at least we're talking about a manageable car ride.That said, I'd love to know the biggest mistakes you've seen - how do neophytes typically "crash and burn?"

Is there a way to make this process seem less like dealing with used car salesman or is that just they way it is?

I would look for a 2 bedroom 2 bath duplex with a one car garage for each side located between the two units and each front porch on the each end of the building.  

No yeah absolutely, thats why 97% of my money is completely in investments, I have little to know expenses and am extremely frugal with just a simple car investing for my future thanks for the suggestion and everyone else here aswell I think I will continue to do what Im doing until I turn 18 and house hack seems like a great idea!

Single family 4 beds, 2 baths, attached 2 car garage, Complete gut rehabbed.

The rehab was complete, and we were ready to refinance when disaster struck—a car crashed into the property the week we were scheduled to refinance.

I am wondering if I should just use the garage as your typical garage as it just has my washer and dryer and space for my car, but I usually just park on the driveway/street.
