No, DIY is not the same as a virtual site visit or a study done by engineers @Dana YobstAs @V.G Jason said, you could very likely cost yourself more in time and money.

If you would like to chat more about anything specific in this area, feel free to connect.

I hope that ( In Time) they will put more money in my pocket than they took out, but it’s not a given. 100%.

The CPAs and EAs I see on BP are exceptional so make sure you reach out to and chat with a few of them too before making a decision. 

Feel free to send me a DM if you want to chat further. 

Gaining valuable insights into the local market.Always consider that Jackson County has a LOT of variability in KC proper and then uniques submarkets of LS, BS, Independence, Raytown, Grandview, etc all with their own local city governments, rules and regulations, each with their own uniques submarkets of their own...Happy to chat and share my knowledge and experience.2.

Would love to chat and learn more on where you're at with it.

It has a lot of features that I simply can't write down all together.Zoho SalesIQ it integrates with your websites for real time chat supportZoho Workdrive, this is a Google Drive alternative except Zoho gives you 5 TBs right of the bat!

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?

(and it was a learning curve lol)I’d be happy to chat and share some insights on navigating the local landscape.
