It is currently my primary residence and was a great house hack but I’m now considering moving out to live with my girlfriend nearby in her condo.

Our first purchases were ones that we lived in and added value while we learned.  

I was able to check an old listing and it showed it as being 2 units instead of 3 and one bedroom/bathroom less than what they are claiming.Tomorrow I plan on having my pretty wife knock on a couple doors, hopefully she can talk to someone living there so we don't get something substantially different.

After living in the property for a full year, we have come to terms and accepted that this is not our ideal location.

Although I still think conventional is the better option, I wouldn't put 20% down if I didn't have to, unless you know you'll live in/own the house long enough to recoup that additional $. 

Nicholas, if you're look at the Ohio market you should definitely be giving Detroit a look as well.I live in CA and invest in Detroit.

The facts are the same as in Example 1, except that B's child turns 13 on February 1, 2008, and B pays for the care provided in January 2008 on February 3, 2008... ...the amount B pays will be an employment-related expense under section 21, because B's child is a qualifying individual when the services are performed, even though the child is not a qualifying individual when B pays the expenses.So we CAN, after all, claim expense up to the birthday day!

@Sergio P RamosYou can make a great living just developing losts and selling to big builders.

If you live there and are currently renting, then there still is a pathway to house hack say a duplex and better your situation.  

Redeveloping into mixed use live/work/play projects has been the most common proposed solution the past few years in my area.
