Are you considering building one as a rental or are you just fascinated with them like I am?

Setting clear expectations upfront with a detailed lease agreement is a must.Consider Property Management: If managing the property starts feeling overwhelming, consider hiring a property management company, even if just for the rented units.

I love that you shared all of this detail about your experience.My first deal was also a house hack (I started a little later than you, I was 25).

Hey Chris, good to hear from you, thank you for your detailed opinion that you brought here, you made me think about it deeply and to compare markets, I'll do some homework this week :)@Chris Grenzig
