I'm not a fan of complicated electronic locks because they have a high failure rate and are often very easy to hack.

Finally from a purely from a cash outlay prospective short term, you could rent a house with roommates and your payment would still probably be Lower than house hacking because rates are so high, over the long period 5-10 years obviously it would cheaper ti buy, hope that makes sense 

For long-term growth, consider newer single-family homes in high-appreciation suburbs or well-located small multi-family properties.

This deal looks really solid to me, but I have only been looking at rental properties as high as $600,000 in discussion with my lender.

So, even when the market is challenging, you can still see properties and stay current.Don't take a break when the rates are high.

Highly recommended.

A few other things I'm considering;- I don't need the extra cash flow to live and am just approaching it to remove the high mortgage interest, but also hedge risk that the current stocks might tank in a few years.- Could take all current cash flow and a few thousand a year to pay off the property in 5-10 years.- Hold for a bit and 1031 into something else but am fairly confident there is not much appreciation to come on this property.

No, I've not invested with SCDC, and it's not likely I will without evidence they can do / have done what they've claimed on their web site.
