PS; I house-hacked with my brother for 2 years. 

They bought their house near Lucca, Italy.  

Quote from @Khon Kounbandith: The house was in good condition. 

As time went on, prices came down because buyers saw the challenges with rebuilding--trade labor, insurability, not knowing what will be built on adjacent lots (like one lot where the owner built a house that looked like a concrete mushroom and that devalued the adjacent new construction homes built to more conforming architecture), and so on.The weakness with moratoriums such as these is that it is now illegal to offer less than FMV as of 1/6/25--but what was FMV on 1/6/25? 

@Shane Regnier I've flipped a bunch of houses in Ocala but have yet to dabble in the rental market. 

hi @Jaycee,  the top floor(the one you see on the listing 8915 E Wes Pl Tucson), is essentially a ground floor as far as entering and exiting the home as the bottom floor(finished basement etc) is underneath it built into the other side of the foothill the house is sitting on.  

They get hail storms there.No cap ex or anticipated cap ex.Rent is slightly lower than market because I have long-term, excellent tenants.The Dallas area is still growing, so selling is probably something I'd regret.Been renting the house since 2011, when I bought it. 

You can house hack the other rooms.

I suspect there's lots of inventory, particularly for new folks coming into the area that find the real estate prices are much better than where they came from.Do you have a type of house you like to target?

If you don't trust your agent enough to tell you not to buy a house, then get a new agent!
