I am also type of person who always thinks I know what I want and as I age realize things change - I say this because this would lead me not to want to buy a house now to rent to move in the future - I would look at it if it worked as a good rental and assume I would not live there and if I did later in life that’s bonus

I'm currently living in Crown Point Indiana and hope to invest in surrounding Northwest Indiana (Hobart, Merrillville, Portage, Lake Station) and maybe eventually the South West suburbs of Chicago.I'm mostly interested in flipping single family homes and purchasing smaller multi families. 

Thanks for the reply.I live in the Los Angeles area (Orange County to be precise).

All the surrounding towns are great appreciation but cash flow is definitely a struggle around here but if you house hack then you’re going to be less worried about cash flow because you’ll be living there.

I live in the West Town area of Chicago.

Current Situation: I am trying to househack a house in Cincinnati as I have 4 people who have agreed to live in the property that I buy.

We have multiple properties rented to students living in different rooms.

I am from northern lower michigan and live and build in texas but I am considering building again there next year .

It really depends on the living situation too.

Both apartments had multiple people living in them who were not on the lease and my property manager failed to do anything.2.
