I’m currently in the process of searching for my first property, which I hope to house hack and eventually convert into a long-term rental. 

At first, he was anxious about having multiple tenants under one roof, but with the right house rules spelled out up front, it turned into a solid monthly cash fow for him.

The smart ones house hack and buy rentals, but the good ones know that their clients come first.

If you are interested in becoming a landlord or buy and hold investor a great way to get started is by house hacking a multifamily with an owner occupied loan. 

The market appreciates 3% per year.Pay cash for one house and rent it for $1,500.

It's now almost impossible to get a mortgage with a FICO score under 560-580 range.Overall, the housing market has higher average FICO scores and more equity than the 2008-2010 period.This makes it much less likely we'll experience another Great Recession, but there are no guarantees.

But I'm gathering that this may be a fools errand if the house is not appreciating.

Hey y'all, I have approached a point where I have built up more confidence in performing my first house flip in the Charlotte metro region.

Have you sent your material list to a supply house to be quoted, have you arrived at a quote with your subs?
