I'm under contract on my second house hack property and first duplex.

First, the market conditions in Northeast OH may be influencing those lower projected returns, especially with rising rates and more limited inventory.

I've been house hacking for two years and for the first time I'm gonna be renting out the whole house and moving.

And all the folks that could never get a deal to close and lost their deposit to them and EM etc etc..

Quote from @Josh Deschene: Hello All,This is my first post and I will try to summarize as clearly as possible.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Once you are married, you are going to want your alone time.

I purchased a live-in flip for my first home.

If so, you can use the security deposits from both tenants to cover missed rent. 

If you are determined to pay one off, then pay off the lowest balance first.
