This is more of a reach goal for me since I am still in my "collect 4 green houses before trading up to a red hotel" stage, but I thought I would ask the hive mind anyways.

My interests especially lie with multifamily properties, house hacking, and fix & flips.

new houses are getting sold for 600K, old houses switched to multiple offer selling model, just like some places in GTA.

Without proper support, removing the wall could have compromised the structure of the entire house.

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Recently purchased my first house to use as a primary residence, currently I am renovating the kitchen and adding a full bathroom to the first floor.

And many times the houses were not touched.. so sweat equity.there were companies in Texas that would prey on non English speakers.. they trolled BP a few years back. 

2023-2024 DECIMATED my already broken finances and killed my 15 yr run being debt free with paid off rentals and a house near the beach in the Ca.

Because of the frustration, when asked to purchase the large lot in front of their house which leads to the main road, they turned it down.

Consider financing options like hard money loans, or FHA loans for house hacking, and focus on areas with strong rental demand near the MA/NH border.

Only in this house your mom happens to be the tenant.
