What the city housing clerk is telling me is that there was a water leak from behind the sink pedestal on the second floor bathroom that has been running for a week. 

I bought 14 houses basically for free by harvesting the equity in my houses by doing 5 cash out refis.

Because you are forcing equity into the house you are sometimes able to pull back out the entire purchase and rehab process to return to your investor then you own the home with just the mortgage.

Pittsburgh has to be one of the best markets for house hacking so we are definitely blessed.

Besides ALE Solutions I did Express Corporate Housing and will be signing up for Furnished Finder.

@Phillip Austin someone who obviously should not rent but buy themselves a brand new house. what was their previous place?  

Not able to buy in this area without going house poor.

-save $1k+ in taxes and fees yearly-can use the savings to get more insurance and a higher liability than the value of house. for flipping houses in California does anyone just put into sole proprietor own name and just use the $1k+ in savings for LLC costs into Insurance or use for savingor am I just being too risky. 

I found a house that I like to purchase in a great neighborhood and the exterior looks great for a 1922 stick built house.

Section 8, nice housing!
