@Richard Schubert If the house next door is a solid enough deal you could always raise the money from people in your network to tie it up.

I am an investor in Madison as well!

House hacking by purchasing a duplex, triplex, or single-family home with extra rooms can help you reduce or eliminate housing costs while building equity.

Hi Nancy, I have sold property for clients in Carrollton.  

Unfortunately, it's now going to get more complicated:(There are two types of approaches PMCs use to bill for maintenance:1) In-house ServiceTechs on the payroll, so owners are billed for their time by the hour.While the labor charges above are useful, they don't cover the true costs a PMC incurs, like:- Payroll costs for FICA, Social Security, Medicare, etc. that typically add 25-40% to the hourly rate- Medical insurance costs for the worker- Payroll processing costs to handle all of the above- Liability insurance costs in case worker damages something or injures someone- Workman's Compensation insurance- Costs of vehicles and tools- and more...Typically the management contract will disclose the total hourly rate an owner will be charged.

Just my 2 cents.Hi Scott,- I utilized the brokers information and then did my own research in 1 bedroom comps around the area and the 2025 Small Area FMRs for the county which are $730 for 1 bedrooms.

Sometimes the internet can make us feel like all we have to do is buy a house or two and quit our job.

Maybe they will want to buy a house one day and decide to pay me off.

Heu Jaron, congrats on killing your first house hack!

My dad was a contractor, so I've grown up building houses, remodeling, etc.
