Thanks for advice.High-demand short-term rental markets like Orlando, FL, Phoenix, AZ, and Nashville, TN are great for house hacking because you can leverage the high occupancy rates for STRs to offset your mortgage.

Quote from @Ronald Rohde: nice update, pretty bird It’s hot down here around 90.  

Affordable housing is RED-hot at this time, especially if it's decent 3br+ housing sub $2k.   

I talked to a Lady in Nashville and walked her through the process and she was able to do this and made some pretty spectacular gains on recreating old parcels.

Oh very interesting, I'll have to check the planning commission meeting notes because this was a hot topic in Denver the last few years so if it was discussed there on public record I'm surprised it wasn't in the news at all before!

If you have a place in Nashville, it could be either and both.The larger the place, the more you are likely to cater to families.

If you're going to work with contractors, collect rent from tenants, or try to bed the hot chick at the bar, you better learn to recognize warning signs and get out early.
