I understand if that is all that is available in your school district.

Have you thought about targeting mid-term rentals, particularly given the med school proximity, or STR given the hotels nearby?

However, with 2 young kids, schools, and the community we've built, it would be too big of a risk to do that.

That curriculum you are following was designed for you by the school this way. 

You want to consider the quality of tenants you get and being in a central area means people can get to their jobs / school conveniently.

Had kids in school too.

A spokesperson for the school said Mendenhall had not been a paid university employee but had coached as a volunteer in 2021.I am sorry but when you lie about something so minor you know there are bigger issues!

My main concern about actual house hacking for a few years in a row is that we don't want the kiddos to have to change schools once we relocate up there.I'm thinking about getting an appreciation-oriented duplex/triplex in a pricier market with good schools that we could stay in for several years, and saving for an actual cashflow property that'd we buy as an investment property instead of a house hack.

It's so hard to say generally what problems might come up, but the first that comes to my mind is work history - do you have 6 months on the job and a 2 year work/school history?
