I have been acting as an investor with 20% down on all of them so if it were a 4 unit going as a house hack with a lower down payment that might change things.

You can’t win the the present value game unless your plan is the absolute best investment plan, AND an owner occupant or neighbor doesn’t want it. 

Shared housing provides affordable, flexible rental options for young professionals, remote workers, and students.As shown above, co-living properties have more demand than traditional two-bedroom units and appeal to a wider tenant base.2.

Looking to learn from those with experience in remote investing!

This is one of the main inherent risks with pre-construction, and the pre-construction market has cooled, and with impeding tariffs, there is some uncertainty around where prices will be in the coming months.One thing to clarify, are you looking to buy an investment property or a primary residence (or perhaps abit of both where you live in one unit and rent out the other)?

In reality, at the start of an investment you don't know exactly how the investment will perform.

Which is why I think house hacking is best for 90% plus of new buy and hold investors.I wrote an article on this a while back that goes into more depth and you might find that helpful: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/get-a-loan

Hey there @James Colgan - Love the idea of house hacking a duplex!

I am evaluating a real estate deal using BRRRR calculator and need help understanding why my cash-on-cash return (CoC) appears as infinity (∞%), even though I have actual cash invested.

Let's ask: i'm donating a house I've owned for 10 years to a lcal 501(c)(3).
