Thanks Sarah, I don’t see much house hacking going on in Essex or Dundalk in terms of listings on Zillow or FB so my concern would be finding professional adult roommates that want to house share in that area. i’ve been following a lot of the midterm rental groups in Facebook and the consensus is that contracts have decreased significantly and hospitals are using more local labor pools.

One effective strategy to maximize unit potential is to explore opportunities for adding extra units, especially in C-Class properties.

It's a sad state but most of the adult population does not do it.   

We have adult kids.

Does it still provide effective results?

Even when we manage to reach a working voicemail,owners often assume we are just another "we buy land" serviceoffering far below market value.Given thesechallenges, we are eager to learn the most effective strategies for locatingpotential sellers and establishing a professional, trustworthy connection thatencourages serious consideration of our offers.Telephone/voicemail is informal, hence casual, hence “we aren’t putting much effort into this.”

The ability to effectively self manage would depend on the scale you are trying to buy. 

Hey everyone, I just finished developing a detailed guide on how to read and dispute appraisal reports effectively, and honestly, I’m amazed at how often small errors can significantly undervalue a property.

Hi BP community!  I currently House Hack in Everett, WA (near Seattle) and utilize FurnishedFinder for our basement ADU with great success. I have built up enough equity and savings and will start adding multiple rent...

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.
