@Darrius LloydTo start your house hacking journey, research neighborhoods with potential for multifamily properties and balance affordability with tenant quality.

(This assumes you have a credit card available to pay for any repairs.).

We need to know if repairs will be made and what the rent will be for next year?

Saturation is definitely upon us but quality product continues to get booked just like other markets.

Tenant chose to stay in house during repairs citing Renters insurance declined coverage.

I also like contractors that have packets that allow you to pick out the stuff that you want to use for that project, which reduces the quality control process..

Here’s how they approached it:1.Scraping Listings: They used web scraping tools like Beautiful Soup and GPT APIs to scan Airbnb for properties in their target areas.2.Image Analysis: They trained an AI model to analyse listing photos, identifying homes with solid potential (good structure, layout, location) that were undervalued due to low-quality photos.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I paid about $1,500 for the installation of a high-quality 4-security-camera system, which can be monitored by both the tenants (and you!)

Say 50% of that goes towards repairs/maintenance/vacancy etc.
