Or they can be sold to investors.I think they are particularly attractive for new investors to buy as a house hack - you live in one and rent out 3, most, if not all, your expenses will be covered.Look at what it last sold for, has it appreciated?

Hi real estate friends,My wife and I recently bought our first home in Co springs area close to garden of the gods and other attractions in the area. to no surprise our interest rate is a whooping 7.1%, the main house has 4 - BD 2 B. our mortgage is $4009. the property we bought has an attached dwelling unit on the side of it, completely independent from the main unit we live in, we are currently renting it out for 2 years for a tenant for $1545, It has one bedroom one bath.My question is what are some ways to scale especially since in the current market (is kind of almost impossible)?

With an extra vacancy or a maintenance issue or an extra turnover, this is definitely a negative cash flow producing investment.So when you say the rent growth and value growth have exceeded your expectations, I would love to have you respond as to how that is possibly the case. 

I recently purchased mortgage software and again wanted to streamline the process in selling or pooling the mortgages and attracting my own investors.

It makes the property more attractive to students and can justify slightly higher rent.

I also got involved with a builder in Florida who has yet to produce the first of three houses they're contracted to build, which was a major hit to my available funds as well, setting me further behind.I also figured if I fell a little behind in saving (18 months instead of 12 months for example), I'd still be making progress.

The older you get the less attractive appreciation is unless the goal is to leave some kind of legacy. 

You need to look at return on equity, how much cash flow can be generated putting your equity to work vs the cash flow this property will produce.

That might be especially attractive to folks who want to shed the clothes they wear at work to keep their living space more clean.

If you want to keep the architectural attractiveness of the house, it usually runs a bit more expensive.
