The magazine cover that he flashes in the video as his "Realty411" interview was completely fabricated and doesn't exist anywhere.

Hey @Max Smetiouk, so we have a pretty rural lake house.

The current status of the market is low end rentals land lords that let the houses look like crap. 

On my second house hack, I am hoping to scale beyond small multis soon. 

Buyer go to open house directly.

Also, as long as the house appraises, taking broker commission and using it against down payment and closing costs means lower cash requirements for me which increases my CoC returns.

If it is a duplex then I comp it like a house with an ADU.

I’m hoping that once I do have enough saved I can buy the second property and continue house hacking.

So I would suggest keeping your STR property geographically close and doing as much as possible to keep your profit% high as possible.As far as the actual house you use, I would just say - be honest, be fair and strive for the best area, most amenities, cleanest house, best communication, and any other extras you can get.

In my personal opinion, it's the land that is appreciating, not the house.
