When they moved out we could update, but again, that does mean sacrificing some vacancy to update the unit, but in turn would ideally be able to raise the rent slightly.

I know it’s definitely doable with some self sacrificing but I’d like to hear if anyone else has had personal experience with house hacking with small kids and any advice you would have.

Is sacrificing the safety of our current cheap mortgage worth cashing in on the equity to invest with?

I currently have a number C class properties but the high costs of turnover seem to be decimating a year or two’s worth of cash flow so I’m looking to move to A class new construction sacrificing monthly cash flow for better appreciation in new developing suburbs and hopefully keeping more of the cash flow with more respectful tenants (lower turnover costs).

I’ll try to make it as short as possible:Since last past year I have been sacrificing and saving as much as I possibly can to buy a condo with an FHA loan.

I sacrificed a lot starting out years and years ago but it has paid off greatly.Work on being the best and improving your knowledge everyday and people will seek you out for your expertise.

We seldom "hire ourselves" in our projects where we control the capital because we can always hire someone else for much less than the opportunity cost of another deal or the time sacrificed raising more capital.If you're in a new area perhaps you can convince some of the investors you had in the old area to invest in projects you can add a lot of value to.
