Based on my calculations, even with a low down payment, I can achieve positive cash flow (with aggressive enough house hacking).

Quote from @William Dorrough: I currently either purchase and value add large scale multifamily properties or develop, and build ground up my issue with scaling is we have done this without brining in investors i have a great deal flow with a good track record im really looking to do more i have the capacity but have the need for more capital in one way or another  Scaling without investors can be tough, especially in multifamily.

Wow, what a rollercoaster 2024 was for the housing market.

I first house hacked in Malden when I bought a 2 family.

You'll typically need to set up your account and get familiar with the process of working with the local housing authority.

That being said, I've been moving into development.

Instead of platforms like Angi, try building relationships directly with contractors, architects, and developers.

Purchase price: $220,000 Cash invested: $30,000Currently house hacking.

I would keep rent a little below market, then split the monthly bill between the tenants on top of rent.Old houses in cold climates get expensive in the winter.

I think some folks search for discounts so that's a way for being promoted.Seems guest dont rent a 4 bedroom house unless they have triple the amount of guests they originally reserved for.
