When I first started looking, I looked for a few years but just ended up buying a single family home that I currently live in and have for multiple years now.

Also, single-member LLC owners can often deduct mortgage interest on rental properties.Let me know if I can help you any further.

A recent study showed that 80 people are moving to this city every single week, which will continue to increase housing demand.

House hacking, BRRRR strategy, and single-family rentals are potential approaches.

This hands-on experience helped us develop some DIY skills and boosted our confidence.In 2020, we bought a single-family home that we’re currently living in and rehabbing.

I live in the SF Bay Area and have decided to buy my first single-family home.I fully acknowledge and recognize that the SF Bay Area and California (in general) may have some of the worst cash flow numbers in the entire country.I've already traveled to cheaper Midwestern states to look at real estate opportunities, but have decided to invest here in the SF Bay Area as I'm purchasing with the intention of living in it first and foremost, and then renting it out sometime in the near future when I move overseas.I'm looking for anywhere in the Greater Bay Area/Northern California region (even Sacramento & Central Valley is okay) with better than average purchase price to rent ratio, and some appreciation (if possible). 

Southern impression is primarily a single family home builder and their floorplans are all too large for profitability. they are overbuilding each unit and adding unnecessary things like garages that don't get you any income and only drive the construction values up. a garage on it's own isn't with much more than what it's built for and doesn't really add to the equity gain in new construction 

I know some banks require it to be located far away as a vacation home, and to be single family.

Hey all, is it possible to use the house hacking strategy when buying a single family house with a significant other?
