@Julien Payne First off why are you wanting to invest in the US instead of continuing to invest where you are?

I plan to keep this house and use it as either a rental home or continue to house hack it.

The property is in a city/town that is appreciating quickly, is in an excellent school district, and is going through continuous development.

They will continue to demand more and threaten more.I'm in a slow eviction city as well, so I understand the fear of losing money for a long period.

Hey Andy, it's great that your continuing to grow your portfolio with house-hacking!

It takes many years of work and experience to become a well known listing agent of choice at scale (and continued good execution to maintain it).

Then, stabilize that operation so that it continues to grow without requiring much of your time/energy.

Median sale prices for Melrose (single family homes) in the last 3 years are as follows:2024 (year to date): $590,0002023:     -->              $535,0002022:     -->              $502,500With interest rates expected to drop several times from the end of '24 into '25, many believe that property values will continue to rise.If you are concerned about tenants not paying, I'd recommend:- Do not rush into accepting a tenant.

Whether through strategic mergers, regulatory pressures, or evolving consumer demands, the industry continues to evolve in response to changing conditions.

I'll continue to pay attention to your posts with that type of track record!
