@Tony SchmuckerFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your strategy to relocate, house hack, and transition properties to management is a strong, methodical approach.

@Jonathan Baptiste Have been house hacking before it was a thing, 29 years to be exact.

Only luxury single family houses will be built. 

If you come across a better opportunity here in AZ where if you can take your 1M and turn it in to 1.2-1.3M ( maybe a value add deal) sell the house, take the equity and use it to get a bigger return.

@Darrius LloydTo start your house hacking journey, research neighborhoods with potential for multifamily properties and balance affordability with tenant quality.

You have to include the cost of your time and the work, especially on a "scary house" is daunting indeed. 

🎉 As we kick off 2025, I want to encourage all my fellow Americans stationed in Germany—or preparing to move here—to start thinking differently about your housing allowance.Did you know that your housing allowance could be more than just a rent payment?

If you are single or a couple on the same page about house hacking, look for uneven multis.

The good news is you don't need a specialty loan for a house hack, just a traditional primary home loan.

2 years to build a house is crazy.
