PM is lying about the fair housing laws.

We’d have a regularish house, a few acres (maybe more), gardens, alpacas, chickens. 

I know insurance rates have gotten rough these past years but if you don't have insurance all would take is one house fire for you to take a massive loss.

I looked into this at more than one occasion, because Milwaukee has such an old housing stock, everything is 60-120 years old.Most of the new apartments we see are 4 and 5 star developments with very high rents, this allows to offset the high cost of construction a little better.

There may be some lenders that might be a little more "borrower friendly", but I haven't found them (nor do I have the time to look for them).You might be able get better terms if you "house hack" by getting an FHA loan, but I don't generally work with those loans.

The market appreciates 3% per year.Pay cash for one house and rent it for $1,500.

I am hoping for a house-hack with a multi-family home which my partner and I will renovate.

I am only buy and hold and am up to 32 houses.

Drew I am guessing you do not have in house maintenance because if you did, you would know $60 an hour charge is likely not profitable.

However, I don’t yet have the funds for a down payment on another house, and I’m trying to figure out the best option for where to live while I rent the apartment.Do you have any recommendations for managing this transition or tips on finding a temporary place to stay?
