Besides, contracts, union arrangements, etc. have a way of deteriorating over time, so don't make a decision based on expectations that may not come to fruition.FWIW, I have an MBA in Finance, and one of my grad school professors was sufficiently impressed w/ me that he encouraged me to get my Doctorate and go into academia.  

I have taken his, as well as many others, advice to heart and hope to pursue a house hack when I graduate from college with an MBA in May of 2018.

There's obviously a wealth of expertise and experience here and I'm looking forward to learning from everyone and perhaps helping others along the way.A bit about myself: Ex-Navy Officer currently finishing my MBA at McCombs (Go Horns!)

I work full time as a DoD contracted security manager and going to school full time getting my MBA. 

I am currently working on my MBA and the way I see it; I spend much more on one class than I would lose in the property. 

Interested in investing in Chicago and surrounding market.

I'm a clinical social worker/therapist by license/training, MBA student (OU in Athens, OH ), spent 10 years in the US Army, and spent all 10 of those years studying real estate investing but never taking action.

I'm currently located in Austin, TX where I'm an MBA candidate at the McCombs School of Business.

I feel like I need an accounting degree or MBA to process what you just said, though. 

I am a flooring salesman and MBA student.
