@Hsin-I Hsu  Owning a $2.5M house can be an expensive commitment, not just because of the upfront down payment but also due to the ongoing expenses for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades that inevitably come with homeownership.Renting at $5K a month, especially for a 4-bedroom house in the Bay Area, seems like a solid deal.

These areas may offer more affordable multifamily properties that fit your house hacking goals.Rochester and other distant markets could work for a BRRRR strategy, but it’s a big commitment given the distance.

However you do have a new government that seems committed to cutting costs, cutting defense spending, and getting us out of wartime efforts. 

SRA might be an enhancement since the perpetrator committed a crime in the name of their deity? 

We are now at 100% occupancy in our apartments and our restaurant is committed to a 3 year NNN lease and a $150,000 renovation at their own expense.

Rents for $1,800+ a month, depending on how long tenant will commit. 

There are plenty of ways around an HOA but they tend to break the rules that you committed to following.

Just had my current LT tenant commit to another year so we will reevaluate again towards the end of 2025.Greg

Oh sh*t, I lose everything!...

Then determine if you have and are willing to risk the necessary capital, time, and commitment.3.
