@Sam Stoffels I would personally recommend house hacking.

I have a Sams Club Business MasterCard for $12.5 no PG.

My parents are going to be selling her house soon and it looks like a great buy and rent option since homes on Sam Calloway, right next to the action,  have already started to climb in value.  

After this thread, I am leaning toward hiring it out, even if the highest and best use of my time would be staring at a wall LOL @Sam Wilson you mentioned that the rental equipment is 110V, but professionals use 220V.

@Sam Shueh, I know what you're saying.

I live and work in the Washington DC/Metro region so I would be lying if I didn't admit I am imtimidated by the market.Regarding the DC market, I have been listening to the BP podcasts and recently listened to episode 210 where Sam Valme discussed his experiences with AirBnB, as he is from relatively the same region as me (about an hour away).

@Sam Manoo Looks like it take a little over a month and it was in Pasadena, CA.

Maybe like the man (Sam something) on episode 210, you and your wife might embrace house-hacking.

Matt Heerwald If your target market is going to be military personnel at Randolph AFB or Ft Sam, you'll likely need to increase your price range, in my opinion.
