There may be a couple of houses on the block that do not have driveways so this may not be the only one.

I am not interested house-hacking.

This house has several major issues wrong with it but there are 2, I am unfamiliar with. 1.

It would be like if someone prepared to sell by painting to create fresh visual interest, but chose fuscia and lime green...those colors would certainly catch the eye but I'd never claim that they overdid the curb appeal by painting with too much visual interest.

If you own it 50/50 you still have to 'sell' them on your new fence idea.

It's a 3 bedroom house and we plan to use technology such as a smart lock, WIFI exterior cameras, and a smart thermostat.

I house hacked then rented it out after a year.

I'm under contract on my second house hack property and first duplex.

Buy a $15 blender at Walmart, and they'll try to sell you an extended warranty.

If you want less leverage simply put down the funds you would use to pay down the 6.4% rate on the new property so you are at say 60% loan to value on the new house.
