If my partner wasn’t so risk adverse and opposed to moving I would buy a new property and house hack it every 14 months or so when the seasoning period on the previous 3.5% down payment loan was up.

As a short-term rental, it would make $4,000 a month during the "season" (five months in the winter) and about $2,500–$3,000 in the non-season (the rest of the year). 

I just wanted to hear the thoughts of more seasoned investors.

Deer hunting season is far over, the deer wasn't gutted, and the tenants said they had no clue how it got there.

I'm new and want to meet educated and seasoned investors. 

Welcome to BP Markus,These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

@Allen Bannister when buying an older home you have to know what you’re looking at to reasonably estimate repairs.

I was just thinking about if I’m older and it hurts to lift stuff, and I’m using my bike to be mobile, that you’re unreasonably hurting my quality of life for almost no reason.

Have your sticky notes printed at a print shop a few thousand at a time if you're serious about buying houses.Choose neighborhoods with homes likely to sell, such as older areas or places with recent foreclosures.
