The key lesson is that if you rent to Section 8 tenants, their negative behaviors may result in non-Section 8 tenants to leave.Rent increases are more likely tied to the minimum wage.

I ma here to learn and I will not pick and choose how those lessons are presented to me!  

The biggest hurdle I have with convincing ppl to househack is they feel like they 'deserve' to live alone, they've put in the time with roommates in college, etc and they wanna feel 'grown-up'.

This sounds like it's going to be an expensive lesson. a.

We hope to create a win-win-win scenario for all involved and it's always a learning lesson when that doesn't happen. 

I'm going to make some assumptions:Normal Person Atake home pay of $10,000 per month, gets paid on the 1st spends $10,000 per month, pays everything on the last day of the monthpays loan off the standard way over 30 years, 150,000 3% 30yearsScheme Person Bsame as above but now he decides to take out a HELOC @ 3%.When he gets paid, he immediately puts the 10,000 into his mortgage and therefore has 0 Cash in the bank (but has $10,000 less on his mortgage).On the last day of the month he withdraws from the HELOC 10,000 to pay his bills.When he gets paid on the 1st of the next month he pays the HELOC off to 0.He continues this until the mortgage is paid off.

These days, a couple of things seem to be affecting how and where college age students are attending classes.

Lessons learned?

With a mix of college students, medical professionals, and blue-collar workers, the rental market stays pretty steady.

It's a 4 bedroom 4 bathroom house in a Auburn AL which is definitely a college town (though I do not refer to it as a student rental).
