@Mitch Tauer I am new to BP and live in Kenosha.

On Buy & Hold: They must have at least six months’ worth of operating expenses in addition to downpayment if financing, closing costs and improvement funds if they are upgrading the property.

I'm a college student (studying agronomy) in eastern Idaho, living with my wife, daughter, and bernedoodle .

Instead of charging an additional $100-$150 for the unit attached to the garage we plan on converting it into an additional 2bd/2bath unit and collect $1200 for rent instead.

But after that ... hell, move out and you've got a duplex in what otherwise would have been single-family zoning.As it used to be in Denver and Colorado Springs and most cities in the state, you could rent an ADU separately when you live there, but once you moved out, you legally could only rent the whole property to one party. 

In addition Edinburg is ranked twelfth fastest growing city in the country.

I live on the beach in FL,  I see what's going on. 1st the condos are going to crash.

For house hacking, consider multi-family properties or single-family homes with additional units.

First, you will be living there, so I think it should be a place that you want to live.

I live in the south, so between high moisture/humidity and weather, moisture is present.
