As I approach the end of my current lease, I'm eager to embark on a journey of house hacking with multifamily properties.

The guy is a "lease-option" guy (plenty of posts here on him) that decided to jump on the land band-wagon & it shows.Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions. 

But if you're holding long term with no plans to sell in near future - better to get them leased up!

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

The one guy I spoke with said they make money only when they sell to potential investors and they only sell new construction homes that are usually pre-leased to buyers (currently they are building in Texas state and Missouri State).

You'll likely pull a few hundred extra dollars and will will get shorter leases that could work better for your traveling.

Firstly, it often generates higher rental income compared to long-term leases, particularly in desirable locations or during peak seasons.

Certain cap items is fixed or pretty close to fixed whether you are buying a $60K house vs. a $500K house in the same market. 

It’s ran like a business, not a personal investment.Given the heavy workload I have being the CEO/founder of the wealth management company, my wife has set up a well oiled machine on the property management side, due to her perfectionist drive however, it still means that she's constantly dealing with tenants and toilets and replying to items at all hours of the day and night.

By house hacking, you're immediately positioned as a landlord, which will adequately pressure you to learn how to structure your leases, screen applications, collect rental payments, resolve the nuances of managing tenants and addressing property issues, etc.
