I've been house hacking my place (I rent out a 3-bed 2-bath residence and live in a small in-law unit in the back) for just about 3 years and have been setting aside money each month for my reserve fund.

On the other hand, if it's real small they can do it in a couple of days they may get to you quick. 

We've just bought a small 5-unit multi in Allappattah, Miami. 

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

I'm a very small fan of Dave Ramsey, so I'm not looking to mimic BRRR or FIRE, especially since I'm now 68 and perhaps a little late to the party.....cheers!
