House hacking, short/mid-term rentals, co-living, sober living, or finding ways to add value are where the best opportunities are right now. 

However, the units I see myself living in all barely break even on cashflow.

As a CPA who lives and breathes real estate taxation, I've noticed something interesting that I want to share with the BiggerPockets community.

Quote from @Ryan Moyer: Quote from @Nick Velez: Hey Anthony,I have a few STR's in Gainesville and have lived here for about 7 years now and know several people with STR's as well.

My name is Wes and I live about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Looking to get into real-estate investing with long term rentals, BRRR, and House hacking.Currently looking to also find other other local people to chat to about real-estate and how to get started in our currently price inflated Ontario market.Let me know if you're in my area!!

I think he's in the process right now so I'm not sure how it's turned out, but last time I spoke with him it seemed that it was going well.I always tell people looking to do co-living that there is a certain amount of risk that you have to be willing to take on.

I’m trying to familiarize myself with the area more thoroughly.it seems to have a stable increase in prices.Since I plan to live in the property initially, breaking even in the first year is my main goal. (5% down; PMI removed with renovation)However, I’m also wondering if it’s feasible to have some cash flow from such rentals, or if the risk of vacancy is high in this market.Any guidance or pointers from those experienced in this area would be greatly appreciated!

It makes sense for house mates, spouses etc. to be Additional Insured on a renter's Insurance policy if they also live there and keep their stuff there (although I think anyone on the lease is typically covered anyway).

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.
