I am ready to talk to mortgage lenders and anyone who can help guide me on a financial plan to rebuild my credit and start a small savings to build up to my first house hack deal in Q4 this year in the Raleigh/ research triangle area. 

Hey Steven,I’d recommend reaching out to your county assessor to inquire about the increase.

I’ve been looking into areas like Oakhurst, Mariposa, Yosemite West, and surrounding towns.If you own or manage a vacation rental in this region, I’d love to hear about your experience.

Our first year out was crazy good renting for $3300 when market rate was around $2100, but by mid 2023 and 2024 it felt harder.

Best approach is to have your "team" set, before going out to secure properties. 

Do you like the area or do you think that there may be more deals there with others pulling out of the area?

This issue has been going on since April of this year with no resolution. 

This is a forum of investors.

Taking the loss now is preferable to paying out monthly for the privilege of being a landlord.

I would suggest reaching out to owners of multi family who have no loan on the property.
