@Solomon Kim I’m not sure what situation permits you to live rent free or how much of a drag that must be, but every month you live rent free, you are investing.

Even if you don't get enough money for a new home, you will at least be able to live rent free for six more month, or longer.

@Marcus AuerbachHaving lived in Denver since 2000, I feel like the last 5 years have felt particularly pronounced as far as builds and transplants.

I am originally from Illinois, but transplanted to Massachusetts in 2010 and I currently live near Ft.

That's what I hear from local transplants anyways. 

With that said, I rather live rent free than have an investment property out of state.

@Jeremiah Andor It really depends on your specific situation and market, but if you can house hack to get your feet wet into real estate and live rent free/cash flow that is a win.

Hypothetically, you could put yourself in a great position after 3-4 years if you get to live rent-free and save an extra $15k a year.

Please help spread wordhttps://www.facebook.com/CAAnet/AB 1436 Allows Tenants to Live Rent Free for YearsTell the State Legislature to vote NOOppose AB 1436 NowSan Francisco Assembly Member David Chiu just unveiled AB 1436, a proposal to force landlords to defer rents for 15 months after a state or local state of emergency is lifted - which can translate to years of unpaid rent - if a tenant is unable - or unwilling - to pay rent due to COVID-19.CAA is committed to finding common sense so

The only ones that can tell you what/if any of those things matter, are the people that live (rent, buy) there.
