You could also have a separate agreement outlining house rules...I havent done this but it's something i'm considering.Here are a few issues that have come up while I've house hacked:- Tenants disagreeing about how clean the common areas should be, WHO is cleaning, and whether it's worth having a cleaning service (monthly)- the house's temperature- Some tenants leaving things out in the common areas and other tenants getting annoyed at it.Every situation is going to be different, but if you've ever lived with roommates...it's similar to that, except you're not paying rent! 

It's really not hard to move around money where's the better chance to invest next ( I give a hint, a warehouse/industrial asset will perform better than hotels). 

I live in Richardson, TX and had an HVAC person who literally lives 4 streets away from me, charge $800 to replace the compressor (which was under warranty, so he swapped it out at the dealers warehouse).

On the other hand, it may also be a great idea to look into unused properties - empty big-box retail, warehouses, and even odd-sized and shaped lots "no one" wants and consider developing your own self storage facility. 

However HF or HD, they also have overheads and all that, how many hands in how many warehouses it will go through until it gets to you.

This post is riddled with ignorance....First, and previously mentioned, trades work with warehouses that provide them just about everything they need for any job.They aren't going online for every job to find the cheapest deal on Amazon, eBay, etc.

I had a septic system on a multi family rental in New York State.. it freezes during extreme temperatures and sometimes backs up.

We also have a very low cost of living (probably because the weather sucks and nobody wants to live here) but if you can tolerate 45 degree shifts in temperature in a 24 hour period you'll love it here!

Columbus has experienced significant growth in recent years, partly due to the influx of tech giants like Intel ($20 billion), Meta, Amazon, and Google establishing warehouses and data centers in the area.

A warehouse was slated to open in Florida, but so far nothing.
