@Jeremy Melloul thank you on your behalf, getting second opinions really helps and gives me an idea if I should readjust or commit as I am committed to my plan here!

We also have a second STR that runs smoothly, so this one feels like more effort than it's worth right now.I don’t want to sell since it’s a great property in a good area and fits well in our long-term portfolio.

Then buy a second.

And that's a metric I use, navigation in UNDER 3 seconds.

My husband and I are Teachers and Nurses but dream of supplementing our W2 jobs with passive/investment income. Fell into a short term vacation property and can't wait to do more investments! We are interested in buyi...

The two BRRRRs that are negative is one because of the sewer (could and should have done a sewer inspection) and the other one is negative cause my old PM couldn't find a tenant for the second unit in over 3 months (my new PM filled it in 1 week and no issues ever since).Would it have been better if I was there?

New Jersey taxes are going up, but at the second slowest pace in the past year according to NAR.

My lender seems to have done a little mistake and my father who is co-signing was never told he has to be down here for the signing which was suppose to happen today at 1:00 and it cannot happen without a wet signature from him.

Seconding this—I’d love to see an updated view of this!

I was in a similar position a few years ago, but fortunately got married and our combined incomes helped us qualify for a larger house hack.We're on our second one in NOVA, Alexandria to be exact, and instead of rent by the room, we are renting out our walkout basement on Airbnb to monthly guests.That said, we have a number of friends doing well with rent by the room across NOVA, though they're purchasing homes with 5+ rooms or finding homes that can be renovated to include that setup.I'd recommend attending meetups such as the one I cohost, NOVA REI or Cashflow Breakfast Club or any of the others to meet those who are house hacking.
