I've read a lot of posts in the forum here on the pros and cons of this strategy... what I would love is some insights from actual PadSplit hosts on the assumptions/operating expenses to take into account when evaluating a property.

The city of Cleveland is a terribly inefficiently ran city.Appreciate the insight 

Question for the experts here, for lead/radon disclosure, I am aware we need the form for tenants, but do you get the actual owners to disclose on the properties in their portfolio if they are aware of lead based paint?

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need insights or just want to bounce ideas around! 

It’s great to see your enthusiasm, and this community is full of valuable insights that can help you on your journey.

The entire reason I hired a company is they are the experts and I expect them to take full accountability of making sure I am in the know and 100% compliant.

Quote from @Andrew Pierce: @Patrick Roberts thanks for your helpful insights. 

The only way to answer that in general (whether house hacking in today's market is still a good option) or for a particular property, is to learn how to run the numbers and analyze a specific property to see whether it will be able to stand on its own as an investment when you move out someday.There are a lot of resources here on BP for doing that but I'd just say, make sure the assumptions you're putting into your spreadsheet or deal analyzer are realistic.Make sure the rents (especially for vacant units or pro-forma #s) are realistic by doing your own rent comps; make sure the mortgage rate is realistic by doing some research online and/or talking to some mortgage folks; make sure insurance #s are realistic by getting a couple of quotes for the # of units and zip code / area you're looking in; etc.I hope that helps, and good luck 😊 Thanks for the response and insight Anthony.

@John Williams Thanks for the insight, that’s helpful.
