However, I’d like to have a space of my own before living with others again (I plan to house hack again with my next property).I’m seeking advice on how to move forward, as I need to consider things like utilities, taxes, landlord/umbrella insurance, and managing the property, especially with someone renting my garage.Specifically, I’m curious about renting out individual rooms and living on my own for a little while.

A few others have me mentioned other rust belt cities reviving because of cheaper housing prices, rising rents, and new business moving in.  

Selling and move on.  

Detroit is a great place for that, but as you probably already know, it takes work and strategy.For background, I moved from CA to Troy, MI, back in 2017, lived there for five years, and built my Detroit portfolio aggressively—12 doors in 2.5 years, generating $16,000/month in gross rents.

I want to purchase my second property within 4-6 months of moving into my multifamily house hack, but looking for a guidance on the strategy to do so.

I am working to get all of the numbers straight and potentially extend or move to a new lender to push this through.  

Don’t stress about perfection—choose what feels right and move forward.7.

For example, if the loan officer asks you what your monthly payments are and your mother-in-law moved in with you because she is struggling financially and you are paying her car payment, don't share that you are paying her car payment every month.

We had Crestcore Management and they neglected the tenant so the tenant moved out because they weren't able to fix the heating concern in a timely manner.

@Jorge Abreu The fact that you led with providing value rather than chasing deals speaks volumes about your approach, and it’s inspiring to hear how that mindset has been a game-changer for you.As for the biggest shift in my own approach—getting crystal clear on my long-term vision helped me stop chasing distractions and start making intentional moves.
