Happy to share some of my OOS investing experiences (got started back in 2021 as a OOS investor living in San Francisco). 

The other question I have is if anyone has tried this on repeat, like with standard house hacking (live in for a year and repeat). 

I live here and I’m a new investor currently targeting central Nova Scotia region.

Since the internet lives on forever, I think it's time I refresh this thread.

It does seem to make some sense to keep living there with the help of a roommate paying the mortgage.

I am also an Italian citizen, I lived there for a while, so I know the place and my family lives nearby.House prices are also lower in the areas I invest in comparison to Munich where I live.

If they’re selling for a $400k+ gain they could look at a 1031 for:A super nice 2-4 unit they wouldn’t mind living in a unit of where the rental portion exceeds their 1031 sale. 

Keep in mind those people will live somewhere and SOME of them will be good tenants!

Purchase price: $365,000 Cash invested: $550,000 Bought to live in, forced some equity and was able to get out almost all of my cash. 2.3% interest rate!
