Combine that with America’s housing shortage, and the solution becomes clear:We need to build more homes that align with what buyers can afford.

I recently purchased my first duplex in Peoria, AZ in September and I am using it as a house hack where I rent out one side and live in the other.

That said, Texas tends to offer more affordable housing than Florida’s coastal towns, so your money might go further if you’re buying properties for yourself and your portfolio.When it comes to family life, Texas has tons of family-friendly suburbs with excellent schools.

People are not choosing the cheapest housing available.

I was in a similar situation for my second house hack.

After being away for a while my inbox was full of people saying my previous forums were helpful, so that is encouraging for me to get back at it.I wanted to share numbers from a recent house-hacking experience here in Charlotte, NC.

How do I help them stay in the house, while getting the deed in my name?

@Heather Bailey When house hacking with a separate rental unit, ensure proper insurance by obtaining landlord or short-term rental coverage tailored for Airbnb activities, in addition to your primary residence policy.

Primary houses will go back to the yesteryears.

I think house hacking with a VA is still well worth it.
