Nice try, but no cigar.3rd warning: only paid stays count, and only full-price stays, not discounted favors for friends and family.

I would take a couple days and go down there (preferably with a friend...rent a U-Haul truck and go get furniture from thrift stores, antiques stores, and even buy some new stuff.

So if you only have 60 days or lose your voucher, limited funds for security deposits, and a world unfriendly to the program that can deny for ANY normal application reason.... well you flock to the landlord friendly properties.

They make their living from this work and deal with more hassle than you can imagine, based on what I know from some of my realtor friends.

I like the house hack for your daughter the most because you have a way for her to get going and live with her friends.

That's why my friend—who's a real estate investor—and I decided to develop our own tool.

It doesn't matter if it was by one of them, both of them, the dog, or a friend.

Lots of friends (owning competing businesses) had to go through Bankruptcy recently due to the small market shift that occurred, just bought at the peak and were too hopeful in the market continuing upward.

Overall great macroeconomics great for investment - there's the booming tech scene, rapid growth in population and the job market, strong rental demand, and landlord-friendly laws.
