Feel free to DM with any specific questions or just to connect.

The only way to answer that in general (whether house hacking in today's market is still a good option) or for a particular property, is to learn how to run the numbers and analyze a specific property to see whether it will be able to stand on its own as an investment when you move out someday.There are a lot of resources here on BP for doing that but I'd just say, make sure the assumptions you're putting into your spreadsheet or deal analyzer are realistic.Make sure the rents (especially for vacant units or pro-forma #s) are realistic by doing your own rent comps; make sure the mortgage rate is realistic by doing some research online and/or talking to some mortgage folks; make sure insurance #s are realistic by getting a couple of quotes for the # of units and zip code / area you're looking in; etc.I hope that helps, and good luck 😊

To scale, I’d focus on defining financial goals, targeting specific property types, diversifying, and building a solid network.

@Mindy Rosscup, you want a contract that is specific to the laws of your state.

Would love to have a chat about your specific situation to see if I can help be of service to you or point you in the right direction!

I should've started with a specific $/month in mind and worked backwards to figure out how many properties it would take to get to that number. 

Pro:- it’s trained to look for safety risks, expensive repairs- within minutes analyzes entire disclosure packet of hundreds of pages- works as another set of eyes that looks for things you should be watching out for, likewise of a companion - great to quickly learn of property conditions from the actual documents while on the go (given that you still follow your own due diligence process)- beta is freeCons:- still in beta- can’t share report directly unless copy and paste- only core documents (home inspection, pest, roof, tds, hazard, solar) are supported but not regional specific disclosures like hoa- estimates it provides aren’t accurate- not mobile friendly 

If you are the lone supplier of a specific housing product and there's pent up demand you will absorb your units quicker and have tenant stay longer given the lack of alternatives.

You don't need to include the specific details on where the security deposit is held in the lease.

Use customized leases with state-specific templates and consult a lawyer for complex issues.
