In my personal opinion, it's the land that is appreciating, not the house.

Hey @Max Smetiouk, so we have a pretty rural lake house.

For example, maybe you will get to 10, 20, 30 houses and then find an owner who has a large portfolio and all of a sudden you are at a high door count and now need to hire, need to build your policy binder, and all the other stuff that comes with running a business.

Hey@Adrian Sopher Is your mom's house in Nashville?

I’m hoping that once I do have enough saved I can buy the second property and continue house hacking.

@Tim Holt, Yes INDEED house hacking is the best option for most 1st time buyers.  

Quote from @Rou Odab: Hello everyone,We bought this house, and we're living in it and renovating it.

It's no different than their 2-year, low interest rate teaser houses.

If I am house hacking then what should be the insurance.

In addition we do not accept any applications for longer move in than the remainder of the current month and the next month (so if tenant is unable to move in by march 1, they cannot apply until feb 1 as we are unwilling to go longer than that without rent and will hold another open house).S8 needs to streamline their process if they want to increase their housing options.Best wishes
