Understanding the local market, neighborhoods, and community dynamics can provide you with a valuable edge in making informed investment decisions.

I’d love to cut the cost of our rent and maybe have a profit on top.My questions are: How does the market look for House Hacks at this time?

Anything with HOA or condo fees will cut into cash flow. 

The level of education, not to mention the high ethical standards enforced within the group, speaks for itself.We have a community of over 10,000 members committed to ethical business practices, and there is accountability for those who do not follow safety standards or ethics.

I got this property at the right time, it was on the market for $699,000.00, seller needed to sell, I offered $550,000.00 after they cut to $650,000.00 and we agreed on $600,000.00.

It cuts down on the CoC and IRR markers they are monitoring.

I agree Don and in my earlier days in Northern CA brokerage activity it was common for listing agent to take less than selling agent.. when I moved North to OR WA it was the opposite listing agent would take a larger cut and they would justify it saying they did that because they had to pay for advertising and marketing etc..

So buying occupied homes is something you want to be careful about.. its not juust cut and dry.

Their posts were welcome and a cut and paste and when one checked their activity that was 90% of their participation.

You may want to try hiring a local handyman that you can email jobs to do and speak with 1-2 times weekly, meet 1-2 times monthly.Most will put on a good show for a few months then either get lazy and cut corners or start raising prices.
