It allows you to live in a home that meets your needs while offsetting mortgage expenses.

First two properties I house hacked, allowing me to put down very little.

Specifically, I’m thinking of putting in an offer on a $295K single-family home zoned R-2 for multifamily use, with plans to build the maximum allowable units at the back.

Assumptions: specifically allowed in city ordinances, mobile home manufacturing in the area, or that someone heavily marketed that area as a retirement location in the past. 

In the end you always roll the dice on guests.I don't allow instant booking.

However if you try to charge $20 for each piece of tape or something else egregious I would expect a magistrate to consider that usurious and not allow it.

@Phillip Austin we've looked into these and it's our opinion they should only be used with Class A tenants, maybe Class B - deifinitely NOT Class C or D tenants.Several companies in this area will no longer allow S8 leases or tenants under 600 credit scores - because of the high number of claims & corresponding claim amounts.

Sometimes the tenants plan on paying a month's rent at two places to allow a less-hectic move. 

We have put together forms that allow us to scope out properties on a walk thru and be pretty close to the final cost. 

- are you going to allow pets?
