@Jonathan Baptiste Have been house hacking before it was a thing, 29 years to be exact.

Is the Hanover market something that anyone knows much about regarding its future economic growth in relation to the rest of this central PA area.

Of course you will not give someone a free house.

Since you’re focused on buy & hold multiplexes, consider networking with local investors, refining your underwriting skills, and researching markets with strong cash flow and appreciation potential.

In short, I can afford the additional $1100/mo cost of a second house, even until I rent it out.I have around $35K in HYSA and emergency funds that I could use for a down payment, but that's less than 20% which would be required for a conventional loan, assuming full purchase price.

It's also helpful to consult a local real estate agent to understand market trends, including demand, vacancy rates, and rental growth patterns.

Quote from @Clive Duncan: I'm not sure if this forum is still active, but I'm looking to chat with a few real estate investors in Ontario who may be interested in raising funds by selling fractional shares of their property.My co-founder and I are doing some market research so we need to talk to some folks to gather more insights before building this out.If this interests you or someone you know, please reach out.

I wouldn't spend 2k on it or anything.Yeah I have one particular house where everyone who books it constantly says how pleasantly surprised they are at how nice it is and that it looks so much nicer in person than the photos.

Is my CoC return solid, or do I need to adjust anything based on my market?

I do engagement marketing in a trades focused field lending me to having very good relationships with tradespeople whom I consider friends- and I trust thoroughly.
