It should be from someone who uses that person.

@Grant Shipman Great stuff, I'm a big fan of co-living/rent by room strategy, and I do it here locally in Denver metro, and it is the best strategy in today's market for any house hacker to live for free or make money while living there, but they have to sacrifice personal space.

Pre-foreclosure - homeowners are desperate to avoid foreclosure and they quitclaim deed the title to some XYZ organization , person, or to a lawyer that specializes in foreclosure defense.

While I don't personally cover the Scranton area, my team and I work extensively with investors in the Philly suburbs, and I’m always up for a great real estate conversation.

@Laurens Van swol a few banks that we've worked with in the past allow you to close in your personal name.

This is a very personal question that is difficult to answer. 

Are you looking to just put the money to work or looking to be personally involved in getting, rehabbing, and dispo of deals?

Unlike long-term rentals, STRs can be treated as non-passive, allowing depreciation deductions, including bonus depreciation (40% in 2025) on eligible assets.For tiny homes, tax classification matters:If mobile, it is considered personal property, allowing 100% depreciation under §179, subject to income limits.

i think this is a decision only you can make. im in a similar boat (house hacking my primary) and considering renting the whole thing out to get a solo home for myself. certainly a lot of appeal in that, given how much work goes into the house hack. but whether or not the numbers on cash flow align is up to you. personally i dont think $150 (seems like about 12%?)

Personally I would just get the proper licensing and insurance if I wanted to manage properties for others.
