@Cody FriedrichAssuming you bought the duplex in Indiana non-owner occupied, house hacking is a completely different calculation (in my opinion). 

If you have a small home (1/1 or 2/1) it may work for travel medical professionals and digital nomads.

Without proper permits, there’s a chance the city may request you to revert any non-compliant additions (like the extra bathroom) to align with code standards.When it comes to refinancing, banks tend to look closely at the property’s legal compliance.

A tenant “broke” a railing on the second floor deck and fell down and had medical issues they were sueing for along with PTSD and a bunch of over things .

Wethink it’s important as it allows us to check for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) issues and to determine if anapplicant is living paycheck-to-paycheck.

In the meantime, i recommend hedging your leveraged real estate bets (which are essentially, leveraged U.S. treasury bond bets) with non-financialized hard assets like commodities, precious metals, crypto assets, fine art, etc.  

Non-judicial deed placed in bank's name, same bank then files a release of mortgage.a few months later.The bank stopped paying taxes, so property is coming up for auction.

@Nathan Gesner: Would you charge non-refundable pet fee and ongoing pet rent for a fish, especially if it's a small tank, say 6 gallons?

This diversification includes healthcare, with the South Texas Medical Center continuing to expand; education, with multiple universities enhancing their tech programs; and the military, with cyber command units at local bases.

The hope is to build experience and open more doors in the future for new builds.I also just had lunch with a banker on Friday who said they have been opening up and relaxing on real estate again…for everything except non-owner occupied construction - that is still a no go for them.
