@Tanner KingWhen I analyze a house hack deal, I focus on metrics like GRM, Cap Rate, Cash Flow, House Hack Savings, and Future Rent Potential.

Hello All,We are building  a house for sale and need to decide on the kitchen layout.

And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse). 

What do you do when in house goes on vacation? 

Appreciate any advice at all.Things to note: I have a well qualified plumber tenant for the bigger under house garage already.

I think this will even out your space in the house.

I have five houses in Memphis area, and the biggest problem has been finding a good property management company. 

Leverage equity, explore house hacking, and continue learning through books, podcasts, and local networking to refine your strategy.

if you want to buy a vacation house for your family, and you can afford it, and you'll occasionally rent it out - that's great, it's just not an investment. 

Consider exploring strategies like house-hacking or BRRRR, and connect with a mentor or local meetups.
