I moved to Boston almost 2 years ago to pursue my master's degree.

That may be faster if you are just starting your degree and you will get more experience than an internship

I've been learning and investing part-time since 2014 while running an online business and completing my graduate accounting degree.

She says the heat wont stay on (handyman checked - it heats to the set temp, 80 degrees and then turns off). 

If you do play that game and get caught, you generally get a cease and desist the first offense but the state could just go ahead and file 3rd degree felony charges for brokering without a license. 

So my question is, do I wait to house hack until after I get a steady job or is house hacking earlier than that as I am getting my degree an option?

I am planning on utilizing all of the above to various degrees, but would like some insight on what has worked best for experienced investors.

I ended up seeking out below market rent (plenty in east bay) and that freed up my down payment money to invest OOS.If we subscribe to the belief that what happens in SF trickles out the rest of the bay (at varying degrees) then it looks like there might be a peak for rents (which again depending on area might be at or near). 

If they get caught again, the state very well may bring 3rd degree felony charges for brokering without a license re: 475.42.

It only gets to about 20 degrees at the lowest in Houston and usually not for long.
