It isn't easy to make things pencil, and I don't see it getting much better over the next 12 months.I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

Hey BP Community,I am an Atlanta resident and bought an older triplex about a year ago to house hack in (live in one unit and rent the other two out).

I don't know Accessible CLG, but can say that we have rented to groups like this and have not had a problem.We have also rented to corporations who have people live there for only a few weeks at a time. 

Can you find a 2-4 unit property and live in one space while renting the others?

So, the total base move-in costs would be $2500, all paid prior to lease signing.Since choosing a place to live is a very personal decision, please feel free to do a “drive by” of the property, located at 123 Main St., so you can get a feel for the neighborhood.

If you are purchasing that MF property for $1 mil then you can use the 3 units as your replacment for the 1031 exchange ($750K of value) and live in the last unit ($250K of value).An awesome way to house hack your way up!!! 

I actually live in New York State myself.

But at turnover you needed better paint and change out window coverings almost always.. change carpet every other tenant.. glad i had concrete floors in the main living areas..

My name is Dina, I live in the suburbs of Chicago.

It doesn't have anything to do with what I do for a living.
