The last I asked her about moving in, she told me she had a moving truck scheduled for October 31. 

The ability to speak the hard truth with empathyIt doesn't matter how good a mentor is: if they don't mesh with you personally, it will be a disaster.

You have no liability if the router needs reset and you're in Europe for another two weeks - you don't have to interrupt your vacation to get a vendor to go into your home and fix/diagnose, or get to the secure part of a building where you store that equipment. 

This means you are doing it strictly for the cash flow.If it were me, I would go the ADU route, Rents could be comparable to the condo without the HOA dues (yes higher Cap-Ex but those are long term expenses), and with everything on one property, things are just easier to manage (one mortgage, one property tax bill, one insurance, etc.). 

The cable company needs us to switch out the modem/router equipment.

When I was house hacking, my w2 income was modest, and a lot of folks starting house hacking today have a better w2 income than what I had when I started.I have a friend who's about 12 years younger than me, she's just started her career, and she's always complaining that it's impossible to break into real estate.

One guest told me she didn't want to tell others because it would be harder getting her desired dates. ;-) I told her she could always have her dates, but to go ahead and tell her family and friends. ;-)Thanks for starting the discussion James, always eager to hear what others are doing and learning new strategies.

My company Trimline Builders LLC is usually a bit pricey for investors but I could recommend our subs flow king router and streib for plumbing and electrical. 

They monitor the meters remotely, and send you and the resident a statement on the 1st of each month with the resident’s W/S/T usage and charges for the previous month.I use their Model TSN1 - PVC Meter which currently costs $95 each.Each building also needs at least one router which currently costs $195.If you have your meters in a centralized location, you only need one router but if the meters are scattered throughout the building, you may need multiple .There’s a monthly $6 fee per unit for the monitoring and invoicing.If you decide to give it a try, feel free to use discount code msam10 for a 10% discount.If you have any questions or comments feel free to reach out to me directly.And if you need to buy a building to put Sub-Meters in, I’m happy to chat about that as well 🙂
