I'm looking towards house hacking my way to least 10 properties is the goal Not at all, it's smart, but you still want to be careful because you don't know what you don't know.

Often people making the mistake of choosing the right time to get buy a home.

Meaning the at the end of the lease, the tenant has the option to buy (but not the obligation) whereas the seller has the obligation to sell if the the buyer chooses to buy (works just like selling stock options!)

There are a lot of factors that go into this and a lot of levers to pull.If none of this works and the goal of the new purchase is to househack that property into an investment property, you may be able to use a DSCR loan to buy the new property as an outright investment property.

If you choose to sell, consider post-retirement timing, installment sales, or a 1031 exchange to mitigate taxes.

either where you live, or a couple hours from where you live, or where you have family, or where you like to visit, or where you went to college, or whatevera lot of times choosing a market based solely on ratios or numbers goes poorlyhope this helps

The acquisition price and scope of renovations aligned perfectly with our strategic goals.

If simplicity is key, selling outright is best; if deferral or family planning is the goal, consider gifting or a 1031 exchange.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Your excitement is amazing, and it’s great to see how ambitious you and John are with your goals.

In a nutshell I think a down vote button would not serve to further communication between us which is the goal of the site.
