Save up more capital and buy an investment property or just house hack for a year. 1 year really isn’t that long and flies by pretty quick.

@Sebastian AlborsIn my experience, buying a single-family home (SFH) in Asheville and house hacking with a family member like your brother can be a smart way to balance costs.

I really like the duplexes in these areas of Columbus because a lot of people are trying to house-hack these deals.

The fastest way in my opinion is house hacking with Airbnb.

Enjoy your posts.Here's a deal of the day hack. 

it's out of state so this is not a house-hack so why a duplex?

I have learned a lot over the last ~6 months about furnishing a property, managing/pricing a rental, understanding the ins and outs of Airbnb/Furnished Finder, and analyzing real estate investments generally.My business idea is to use that knowledge and start a company that does the following:-Furnishes properties for investors who want to turn their LTR into a MTR/STR, new homebuyers who want to house hack, or just any investor needing a rental furnished.

What do you want to do your personal home, house hack, or investment properties to upgrade them?

I am looking at New Haven as well for BRRRR/house hacking.

Once you are on site you can decide if your $20K should be used as a downpayment on a double to house hack (to stop renting), a single to just stop renting, or a single to lease out.
