Quote from @Ben Fernandez: Gotcha...I like your goals utilizing the lease option.

I'll be moving from California and only making a 50k  salary, but this job will cover housing and utilities.

Easiest thing to do is to utilize your channel manager to create one (most have this feature) or maybe consider houfy.com or craftedstays.co, they are specific for creating direct websites.

It is balance sheet heavy but for some reason, most investors in BP are just focused on P&L and they stick with these free accounting platform that doesn't even utilize the Balance Sheet.A lot of the time when I clean up client's books, it's mainly in the balance sheet that needs to be fixed up.

That affects your loan amount and then principal & interest payment.2) Estimate rents based on recent rental comps3) Account for all operating expenses such as property taxes, insurance, repairs & maintenance (landscaping, snow removal, cleaning etc), property management (if applicable), vacancy, utilities (what does the tenant pay vs what you would pay?)

However, I’d like to have a space of my own before living with others again (I plan to house hack again with my next property).I’m seeking advice on how to move forward, as I need to consider things like utilities, taxes, landlord/umbrella insurance, and managing the property, especially with someone renting my garage.Specifically, I’m curious about renting out individual rooms and living on my own for a little while.

However, I’m unsure about the utility of having two paid-off rentals 25 years from now.

The cashflow should cove ALL of the expenses for the primary (mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, etc) AND put money in their pocket.

Utilize financial analysis and market research to make informed investment decisions.

Both units rented at $1500/mo with all utilities included.
