There’s an obvious housing shortage here in SoCal.

The ban in Asheville proper started in 2016 though, and we don't seem to have more affordable housing as a result.

Take your time and don't let FOMO distract you from your long term goals. 20 years from now, it won't matter whether you bought a house this year or next.

Here’s the context:The house appears vacant, with a large tree that has fallen on the property.From what I can see, the house seems full of furniture and might even be a hoarder home.I’ve skip-traced the property and found that the owner has unfortunately passed away.The house seems to be mortgage-free, and I’ve identified three phone numbers associated with the son, who I believe is the heir.I’d like to reach out to the son to express my interest in purchasing the property, but I want to ensure I do so respectfully while also gathering the right information.Here are my questions:What’s the best way to approach the heir while showing my condolences for their loss?

When I was 22, I did a house hack, and I highly recommend it.

I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year. 

I do a heloc on the house and I am the only borrower on the heloc.

You do realize how you got the house right?

If I am house hacking then what should be the insurance.

They get a higher return since they are covering housing cost, have the $250k per spouse primary residence deduction in gains, is a savings account, higher leverage position, lower interest rate possible, will pay more premium for location, etc.House might be overpriced for REITs but not for home owners.
