Here's a summary of the reasons: With inflation now in the 2% range, the Fed needs to lower interest rates from their current "restrictive level" (Powell's words) to prevent a recession.

However in the future because  of how these things tend to go, I would not have called insurance or a remediation company, I would have just fixed it immediately before it got too bad then warned the tenant not to do it again (and to be fair to them it’s odd that simply hanging a picture would cause a major plumbing leak, the likelihood of that happening is so low) and moved on.

Red flags to watch for in a house hack deal include high vacancy rates in the area, poor property conditions, or unexpected zoning restrictions.

An increasing number of cities are placing restrictions on short term rentals, including on the Oregon Coast, believing that they cause a housing shortage for locals. 

Study HOA documentation prior to purchase as rental restrictions can limit the usage as an income property, especially when HOA is non-cooperative.

Even if your town or jurisdiction has regulations, the HOA can choose to pass rules that are more restrictive.

It is one of the best examples of City Council and local registered community organizations huddling together to create restrictions intended to thwart development but here they are doing it in a manner which will leave new housing stock in the dust relative to other neighborhoods thanks to terrible design restrictions.
