A house hack is not a pure investment property - it is a blend of that which is an investment with that which is a home.Now - in case this point gets lost in all of the nonsense, the component that is of most prominence is THIS IS A HOME.

The goal is then make money off of the fees as a syndicator and hopefully through cost savings and rent growth blend the cap rate up over a 5 to 7 year horizon then exit.I syndicate but retail properties.

I would use Old English to blend in the scratches and rerent it.  

How would I charge for having to paint a room my tenant tried to patch and repair holes themselves than painted squares that don't match the color of the walls to try to blend it in?

I think with that type of foundation I would want it to blend in to the house as much as possible and not draw anymore attention to it.

Some of this information I've seen on other feeds as well, but as a newbie I've been reading and writing so much it blends into 1.

Spoke to my lender and he said he would just combine our applications and credit worthiness to create a mortgage using our blended qualifications.

And has a nice blend of new homeowners and buyers as well.The blend means you have a pool of investors and homeowners that have pride of ownership which is a nice balance between cash flow and appreciation.If you go too low, you will be in an investor only area and will have no appreciation and a TOUGH exit as everyone wants a deal!

Awesome place to live - great blend of the country and the ease of being closer to the city.

Some would say this is bad (they cannot take away your rental property if you are suddenly unable to make those CC payments) and some would say this is a great plan (significant reduction in interest).Perhaps there is some utility here in doing a blended solution?
