I landscaped a 40 foot x 7 foot walkway on the side of my house(where I house hack) in 2024.  

There are houses that can be lived in and fixed up, or turned into multi-unit spaces (such as terraced houses with converted 'stables' at the back) for living in and earning income at the same time.

This a was a deteriorated house on my street that was previously occupied by a drug dealer.

Our plan is to use the "Sneaky tactic" and for the next few years, the plan is to buy a house that needs a little TLC, fix it up as we live in it and move on to buy another house until were tired of doing it or reach a decent income.

Housing costs continue to be a major contributor to inflation, with shelter prices rising 0.6% in January, keeping pressure on affordability.Despite these inflationary trends, the Federal Reserve is not raising rates and is keeping its benchmark interest rate steady at 4.25% to 4.50%.

@Michelle Dong for S8 info, go to Michigan's MSHDA website and that of the Detroit Housing Commission.

Buy a house cheap, rehab it, and keep it for a rental for a few years.

The population and property appreciation have grown year over year, along with rising rents, which suggests strong demand for housing.

Here’s the context:The house appears vacant, with a large tree that has fallen on the property.From what I can see, the house seems full of furniture and might even be a hoarder home.I’ve skip-traced the property and found that the owner has unfortunately passed away.The house seems to be mortgage-free, and I’ve identified three phone numbers associated with the son, who I believe is the heir.I’d like to reach out to the son to express my interest in purchasing the property, but I want to ensure I do so respectfully while also gathering the right information.Here are my questions:What’s the best way to approach the heir while showing my condolences for their loss?

Fast forward to the beginning of 2024- we started using Furnished finder and renting out nearly half the house on 30-90 day increments and were fully licensed as a short term rental.
