This is a great case of how anyone can house hack.

But mostly buy a house with a large lot in a high-density area.   

Most 4/2 houses in the area are renting for approximately $2200 and offer washer, dryer, and internet (which I think the builder provided for all new houses in that community).

Hey @Brett Baker, generally, any place with a great water view or directly on the water will bring more revenue.Of course profitability will all be based on purchase price and prevailing nightly rates in the area.If you find a cool 2/2 or 3/2 right on the water with a great view for 1.5m or a 2/2 or 3/2 house a block away for 600k, then I would look at the house over the condo.

I have never heard of someone house hacking with an STR, that is super creative...

if so, house hack in San Diego. 

I am planning on doing a flip or a build in Phoenix in the next one to two years. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the current market and any success/fail stories in the Phoenix area. Thanks in advance!

A cheap house still costs the same to put floors into, HW heater, or bathroom remodel. 

@Bryson Ragsdale search "house hacking biggerpockets" in spotify or the Podcast app and that should bring up the ones that talk about house hacking!

I mentioned buyers brokers not showing houses to their clients because they thought the commission split was too low.
