I’m currently in the process of searching for my first property, which I hope to house hack and eventually convert into a long-term rental. 

I did that out of necessity with my first 2 houses and was able to buy in a nicer neighborhood than I could actually afford because they weren't updated. 

The town is encouraging home ownership, so buying a condo/single, living in it for a year plus and then renting out works fine here (what I did), whilst house hacking a multi is more complex.

I’m approved for a mortgage and want to house hack but doesn’t feel like the opportunity is there at the moment, but I also know that’s a limiting belief.

My wife and I have owned a single family rental house in Indianapolis for 1 year and are trying to decide between an LLC versus a personal umbrella policy.

House was listed $142K.

I still believe affordable housing is a great investment. 

There is a guy near me with 6 small houses he rents , he has a waiting list .

Quote from @Vanja Dimitrijevic: Hello, I've been researching BP podcast and resources and am looking into buying another property to downsize from the current one but wanted to use the equity in my current house to purchase a new house in the area.

And while short-term rentals are the big draw here, there’s also growing demand for mid-term rentals from snowbirds and traveling professionals, as well as long-term housing for the increasing number of permanent residents.Yes, higher interest rates are a factor, but the strong rental demand in the Panhandle often helps offset those costs.
