From a credit perspective, house hacking also helps you build strong cash flow, which can make it easier to secure financing for future deals.Additionally, if you're targeting high-appreciation markets, you could also look into cash-out refinancing down the line to pull equity and fund additional investments.

In the future, please have all this lined up before you submit a contract.

I'm actually considering moving from my personal residence in a somewhat distant future so I was planning to test the waters before making the leap.

Once that reserve fund is established, move all future cash flow to an investment account.

Hey @Jon Averette congrats on being a future dad!

When you bought this property did you intend to rent it out in the future?

When you want to exchange in to a property that might make the perfect retirement home in the future. 

And then I also want to flip in other cities and in the future some rental properties.

But if the lease terms are murky, if renewal conditions aren’t guarenteed, or if the airport authority could dramatically shift the deal down the line, then you should be asking for a discount..or at least some protective clauses in the contract.I’m curious... if you were to step into this kind of leasehold now, how do you think you’d explain the upside to your future buyers or partners when you eventually decide to exit?

Investing is not just about increasing numbers; it's about strategically building a future that aligns with your financial goals and lifestyle.How many properties are you closing in your portfolio this year?
