Keep in mind that while there is an exemption to the Fair Housing Act.....most states that have a state level Fair housing law do not typically provide the same exemptions as the national law.

These areas have affordable entry points, diverse housing stock, and steady demand.

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

Another single family house had two front doors and they assumed it was 2 units, it was not. 

Congrats on the house hack, Keith!

.- Who better to show the house and speak positively about than a current tenant?

Hi all, I've been housing hacking a duplex since 2021 and due to some life changes will be relocating out of state.

My first house had a tenant in it when I bought the house and they just up and left and left the house in rough shape.

The short version of the story is they ‘launched’ the Tesla right over a curb and into the side of a house killing someone’s inside.  

I have listened to some very good podcasts on the merits of owning and investing in the parks, being the source of housing it is.Good question!
