I agree with all of this HOWEVER I will say, if you have a unique product to offer to the market, you can attract even the highest quality tenants in the rougher areas, especially if they are secure properties that are close to downtown.

That is if you renew their 11.5 month lease for another 11.5 months you can only evict them for a violation of the terms of the lease (aside from a few unique carveouts such as you or a family member moving into the unit).

Is this a unique form of house hacking, where the rental income from our owned properties covers the rent of our new rental home?

The seller is in a unique situation and may be willing to work a deal with me that would help me make this possible.

So you can take that off the table.Buying an investment property first would be smart, but you can actually set yourself up with a unique option if you do it correctly.

A unique thing about the St.

@Mohammad Khudirat, congrats and best of luck both on your medical AND your RE investment journey!

Please DM me if so.I’ve encountered similar situations with unique zoning challenges.

CA and NC seem to have the most unique rules that I've come across, especially the non-refundable due diligence money in NC.

Creating something unique and special takes more time and energy.
