Because of the time value of money I would rather have the cash flow today to reinvest in other projects.You mention that that seems to rely on appreciation- I think it is the opposite, by pushing out the term I am focused on cash flow.

It might be $25K today, but if tariffs kick in next year (or the year after), the cost can rise (whether it is actually because of tariffs or because contractors want to blame it).I would get at least 3 bids and go from there.

Focus on finding a real estate tax strategist who specializes real estate taxation, cost segregations, tax planning and financial planning. 

I am wondering if there is any market in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, or Washington DC that would "make sense" to house hack given my financial position?

----------------------------Here's a quick breakdown of the eligible loan amounts based on an all-cash investment strategy, but the same applies if you have a mortgage on the property as well:• 0-6 Months (Delayed Purchase, no Rehab completed) - up to 80% of purchase price• 6+ Months (Cash-Out Refinance, no Rehab completed) - up to 75% of appraised value• 0-3 Months (Cash-out refi, Rehab completed) - 75% of appraised value [good rates]• 3-6 Months (Cash-out refi, Rehab completed) - 75% of appraised value [best rates]My one caveat is that a 1-4 unit residential property in Missouri is eligible for an 80% cash-out, albeit at a higher interest rate premium (8.625% @ 80% LTV vs. 6.875% @ 75% LTV today).

., so make sure you figure in VRBO as well as AirBNB in your calculations.I don't think 8-9% is terrible today.

You might notice today, it's discontinued.

After viewing the property today, I believe I’m going to pass on this deal.
