You too, are elegible to join the B of A fan club :)

Make your flips stand out by having just a little more elegance, a little touch of class, something unique at that price point, but maybe common in the next step up in price.

Not the most elegant solution but looks pretty decent when painted (rest of kitchen is pretty nice with ss appliances and granite counters - bathrooms are just regular white tiles).  

I still think of it as the "old people, fuddy duddy" apartment complex...right down to the independently owned beauty parlor and café on the first floor (very unusual for my area).The building itself even looks a bit "grandma"...elegant and in great condition, but a bit dated and old fashioned, with heavy Italianate type of architectural features.  

MartinI think thin buildings are elegant in certain settings, and your Japanese examples show that off perfectly.

As far as I can tell (I've personally seen the outside/picture only for the inside) and its not a gut job...its a remove wall paper, paint walls,remove carpet on stairs/lightly sand and refinish floors job with a large lot that would look if 2 nasty trees are removed and includes an elegantly shaped and I believe well maintained pool,  The front steps need pointing but are solid and if I pressure the concrete (all solid) it will look much better.

In my head, this is an elegant situation: as long as the numbers work out, my income is irrelevant to a bank since they are guaranteed to be default-free via the escrow account long enough to sell the loan if they wanted to, and over time the value of the house and my income should each be substantially higher.It's not without risk, and it's unorthodox, so it will probably be a struggle to find a lender comfortable with this scenario.  

Built with comfort & elegance in mind, this home contains rich original hardwood floors & fireplace for cozy living.

I merely am a strong proponent for house hacking for all of the exact reason elegantly stated by Jim K.And the statement that house hacking is merely "getting roommates" perfectly shows the need for people to better understand the strategy and the granular details that go into successfully leveraging house hacking into building financial freedom.
