Two of the biggest challenges I face are that I’m not very liquid at the moment, and the Seattle area is extremely expensive.

My biggest goal for 2024 is to be around more like-minded people.

Look at insurance and tax costs, those two items are the biggest killer of cash flow.

I also am very interested in purchasing more STRs, and this is a really low risk way to see if I'm up for it (we have a 2.9% interest rate on our mortgage).My biggest concern is an ongoing plumbing issue we have had.

The biggest hurdle I have with convincing ppl to househack is they feel like they 'deserve' to live alone, they've put in the time with roommates in college, etc and they wanna feel 'grown-up'.

Some people seem to get locked in to one place they find, or a place a friend or family member is selling without really evaluating the available market.In a small town in East Texas I would think your biggest risk is a big player coming to town that can absolutely crush a smaller player. 

What are the biggest challenges people have faced with this.

This is one of the biggest insulation issues second only to the attic.

One of the biggest time sucks can be finding & screening a tenant!
