Kyle Garand Craston Rhode Island

@Kyle Garand prices should be determined by rents; whether something is "above what market value should be" is really a function of what you're paying (the investment) vs. what you're getting back (the return), and whether that amount (as a percentage) is high enough to justify the risk and aggravation of doing the investment.Generally speaking, if you invest in a better area, prices will be higher, and returns lower, because the risk is lower (better tenants and more able to hold its value).If you're living there, you'll also need to consider where you personally want to live (personal use factor), but I also recommend people analyze a house hack as if they will someday move out because it's always nice to have that option.Someday you may want to move out of the owner unit and rent it out, i.e., make it a pure rental/investment property.
