Quote from @William Penn House Jr: I just got off the webinar and fell for the OKEDOK,  It was clearly stated the they would charge only $197 tioday as well as monthly and that would include everything.

I don't know, it sounds kind of weird but my friend is kind of freaking out about potential liability since the lien was literally placed on the house essentially hours before closing.This is being made all too complicated.  

Pittsburgh has to be one of the best markets for house hacking so we are definitely blessed.

Single-gender homes are only for transitional housing (like soberliving houses, halfway houses, etc). 

I just bought 5 houses in 5 days in 3 states, 1 of the states I never bought property before. 

There's no difference in a local flipping a house than flipping the small mixed-use building that is vacant in town into a couple commercial units and some apartments above. 

I interact with first time house hackers / seasoned investors on a daily basis.

Im looking at house hacks in Raleigh or Greensboro.

Acquisition Target: $730K-$780K; ARV: $900K; Repairs: $120K.

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.
