I've also seen a lot of BRRRR opportunities and house hacking opportunities in the Shoals area.

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

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

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?

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.

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. 

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.  

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

Hey @Jonathan Baptiste, so we are a bit different than some.We have a large house that can sleep 12 comfortably and we provide a lot of stuff.
