So that inflates the bill more than most people realize.

Last night, I came to the realization that house hacking might not be the best first option since the amount coming out of pocket will not actually equate to "living for less." 

I reinvested proceeds from the rent collected from the first tenant, to spruce up the second bedroom (I call it the nature room) I added a full length body mirror, study desk, a few various wall decors, updated the listing pics (didn’t get to put in service the new comforter and pillows, since I’m still waiting on them to be delivered) changed two small details in my outreach marketing message, and it made all the difference in response rate from the female demographic; since the majority of travel nurses are females, I realized they would not feel safe/confident in booking from, who they presume, is a single male, so I included a profile picture of my gf and I.

I thought that was a mistake for a long time since, after coming to realize I wasn't going to build on the land anytime soon (no time), it was almost impossible to find a buyer for the deal.

I’m going to go against the grain and say you should learn how to find an off market deal.The method will depend on budget and preference, but once you realize if you buy good enough deals you don’t need down payments that’s a game changer.  

Two Weeks in and i'm slowly realizing 300 in Silver Spring is laughable.

First off, I do realize that these types of questions should be discussed with an attorney before any action is taken.

You can like your tenants and still realize you are running a business here.
