The interest rate isn't that huge of a difference between the 15 and 30 so worst case scenario if you have the 30 year option is you start paying it down on a 15 year timeline - sure you'll pay a little more in interest over the 15 years, but it will have been worth it if you bought another house.

Market goes up and down and your tax implication comes into pay when cashing out. 

.✔️ You’d rather pay for peace of mind and legal compliance.Final ThoughtsIf you’re house hacking a small multi-unit (like a 2- or 3-flat) and are comfortable being hands-on, self-managing can be a great way to save money and learn the business.

I also pay my mortgage for the house I live in.

And, it's amazing how many closing costs are junk fees that we as investors need to pushback on paying for ourselves and our clients.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

If you have the stomach for it and understand the big picture it pays off. 

Do you have to pay a bit of a premium for that luxury? 

If I sell one house per year, it will pay for itself.

@Michael Daniel Ultimately, it's all about confirming what the housing authority pays.
