Not only does it have excellent potential as a house hack, but it also offers significant upside for a live-in flip.

My out-of-state clients love it here because you can still find cash flowing deals hitting the 1% rule with lots of appreciation potential.

The city offers a mix of high appreciation potential in certain areas and solid cash flow in others.

Also, factor in potential interest rate changes if the HELOC isn’t fixed.

If you ever want to get into a tenant nightmare of costly potential litigation become a landlord, have the ac go out in Phoenix in July, and inform the tenant that you just don’t have the funds to replace it!.    

While most of his experience is with new construction rather than remodels, he’s already given me a few pointers and is looking into potential referrals for me.

Traditional IRA withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income, with a 10% penalty if under 59½, potentially pushing you into a higher tax bracket.

Hi Ethan, I would not entertain the idea of getting more money from this tenant in order to potentially increase your cash flow.
