I was on a bird-banding expedition in 2018 and now I'm wondering what @markozlatic's band will look like... ankle?

House hacking can significantly lower your housing expenses, but full elimination isn’t guaranteed.### 2.

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

@Darrius LloydTo start your house hacking journey, research neighborhoods with potential for multifamily properties and balance affordability with tenant quality.

What would a bad, decent, and great commission plan be for a lead generator/appointment setter for a house-flipping business?

@Bryson Ragsdale search "house hacking biggerpockets" in spotify or the Podcast app and that should bring up the ones that talk about house hacking!

Great opportunities to buy single family house and rent out the bedrooms.  

Do your due diligence.furthermore, are there any burnout houses close by, is it in a safe neighborhood, is this in a rural area, is it a metropolitan area, what's the economy like there, just because other places nearby are renting doesn't mean that your house one block over is not next to something that is uninhabitable, or poses a security risk, or maybe near an abandoned field, a graveyard, an airport, many different factors there to consider.
