I'm more interested in purchasing 10 homes to have fully paid off by the time I retire, as I'm not living on the cash flow w/ current job. 

Let me preface my story with my definition of freedom: doing what you enjoy for a living with the people you care about.My name is Peter Neill.

She moved out exactly a month if stay there and they left the place filthy also her son is not on the contract and I been told that many of them were living there while contract has only two people.

A lot of the popular areas in Charleston proper that are not licensed under the old laws now require the owner to live on the premises to obtain an STR license.

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

Similarly, the sale ($575K) minus your adjusted basis determines your capital gain.You may qualify for the primary residence exclusion (up to $250K single/$500K married) if you lived there 2 of the last 5 years.

It is a TON of work but you only need 1 to 2 deals per year to live the good life.

While I currently live outside Portland, OR, I plan to begin investing in Tennessee.

I'd highly recommend house hacking in your local market since you're in one of the highest cost of living areas in the US, especially if you're renting currently and planning on staying in the area for 5-10 years.It sounds sexy to go out and invest out of state for your first property.

Although I am just starting my journey, (just recently sold first piece of land; acquired in 2016–held and sold this past week) I live in Southern California but looking to expand to Florida and other states for REI.
