Over lunch, I asked him how he stands out in such a crowded field.

I've been digging into that over the last few weeks a little closer.   

Hi, i have a handful of properties that i have purchased over the past several years as passive investments.

Hello Christina - we recently acquired a home in Banner Elk that's just over a mile from the Sugar Mountain entrance.

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.

Anyone over 18 fills out has to furnish their social security and driver's license numbers, and pays a fee for a credit / background check.

The university’s experienced strong enrollment growth over the past 20+ years, so it could be a good fit if you’re willing to cater to college students or young graduates.

Finally from a purely from a cash outlay prospective short term, you could rent a house with roommates and your payment would still probably be Lower than house hacking because rates are so high, over the long period 5-10 years obviously it would cheaper ti buy, hope that makes sense 

Over priced, layout is awkward, junky neighbors, back on market/under contract multiple times, bad photos, bad timing(got buried from other listings, weather occurrence, etc).
