The last month I have been exploring house hacking options as an easy option.

If rents are under market, consider small increases or exploring additional ways to optimize your cash flow, such as taking on another roommate.Refinancing is also worth exploring in the future.

This influx of workers will naturally drive demand for housing, retail, and other services in the surrounding areas, especially in smaller towns and cities that haven't seen major growth in decades.

Should I explore putting these properties into land trusts?

It costs me $20 to transfer electric service into my name in most towns.

Hi Frank, sounds like you’ve built a solid foundation and have exciting plans ahead - If you're planning to scale, you might also want to explore hard money loans or DSCR loans alongside private lending.

Our financing strategy is currently 20% down and turn key but we are exploring other options as well.

Our HOA/complex manager has saved my butt more than once when a guest has locked themselves out of the unit and I'm across town or whatever.

For example I sold 2 properties in the same town that was more than 30 minutes away, just because of the travel time to get there and return. 

And there are a couple of folks in town who are suggesting using installment contracts as workaround, as well.
