The way I see it is that the monthly fee should cover coordinating routine maintenance (HVAC tuneup or minor maintenance, leaky faucets and drains, sprinklers, minor pest control, etc.), but larger ticket items that may require multiple bids, permits, or otherwise could have reasonably been prevented should be handled separately and charged to the owner.

i iknow of a couple investors who are members of those sites. i thought about it, but didn't when they couldn't tell me how many leads came in per month on avg.i like being in control of my own marketing and once u have it going consistently the phone will ring. the other leads are icing on the cake

She wants to be emotional and she wants to be dramatic.

And it's an emotional and financial disaster for about 90 days until some things can be loosened up by going to court.

One bad investment can ruin most or all of a diversified portfolio and you have no control over how things will go.  

Some properties are not worth keeping, even though person can become emotionally attached to them.

So, in sum, house hacking can be when you are able leverage low down payments in order to control an asset (use an FHA loan and rent out the other rooms/units, use the VA loan with no down payment to ultimately turn the property into a rental property, etc.). 

Do not get emotionally attracted.

To summarize, your JADU should not be rent controlled due to 15 year exemption.  

I also don't quite see it as being the same as picking a city to live in - I went through that process in choosing Austin but that was more emotionally driven.
