I'll add one more: buy the best quality you can afford at the time. 

Would be smaller in scale, less residents per caregiver (better quality of care), and less headache in terms of turnover (would not be considered an eviction). 

It will limit the number of people who are interested in your property and you may end up having to rent it to lower quality tenants and / or below market rent. 

It is a combination of reviews, pricing, amenities, quality of photos/listing, and CTR (click-through rate). 

Rates have now decreased from averages in the mid-7's to now upper-5's, yet the market has not seen a "speed up" -- likely due to the seasonal swing, and the upcoming election. 2025 should see strong property value growth, with increased inventory, but also increased buyer activity with rates expected to continue downward. 

The higher costs are offset by the speed and flexibility of the financing.

I have 3 deals going in Loudoun county VA that national builders are buying our lots and when I was there going through existing developments its was full speed ahead  Toll Brothers on one project probably had 40 up and running some i am sure are presold..

After that you can decide on what market/area you want to invest in In order to house hack I'd have to have the type of income to quality for a home and here in my state the home market is between $350k to $600 kMy income would only qualify me for Maybe $150k worth of house.Im unaware how to move forward with a house hacking option at these prices.
