Thanks.Hi Wendy,Balancing the need for significant repairs with financial constraints is tough, especially in the current real estate and economic climate.

I'm a real estate guy so take my advice with a grain of salt.Still, here is my simple thought process and maybe you agree:Stocks go to $#@% first, then the economy, and lastly real estate.There are opportunities like this only once every 10 years or so where amateurs like you and me can do really well investing in stocks no matter what stocks we pick (As long as they are big conglomerates in the S&P 500).Diversify between 10-20 companies and hold for 12-24 months, if not longer.Sell and gain 50-100% on your invested capital.Invest in real estate (Buy and hold properties).Here is a chart of every 20% decline we have had in the last 100 years and the returns within the first 12 months when the market does finally take off and go bull.It is my belief that you can grow your wealth much quicker in this current climate by investing in stocks.However, as I mentioned above please take this blog with a grain of salt because I usually am the dumbest guy in the room and don't claim to be any smarter today then I was 12 years ago.

With that said, I am considering jumping into a house hack using my VA Loan and then repeating the process every 1-2 years until I can accumulate enough properties to help supplement retiring one day.I am doing research on the climate of things right now in the market but the reality is I need a new place to live and house hacking seems like the best way to invest my money and lower my monthly overhead costs so I can save money.
