- house hacking is one of the better current RE strategies. 

Quote from @Daniel Becker: Don't get buried in the weeds. 30 years ago, people invested by saving money, buying a house they liked, and holding onto it for decades.

If you have a handle on the value of the house, can make an offer that protects you and adhere to the contingency deadlines like inspection and financing,  a buyer's agent does nothing but waste your time and cost you thousands.  

This was either a single family house rental or a duplex.

I'm getting my finances in order now so I can buy the house that I've been renting from my in laws and will have instant equity.

Airbnb would take 3% of the $175 leaving you with $169.75Then the cleaning fee of $75 would come out and be paid to your PM to pay the cleaners with. 

My question is around requiring other occupants of the house who are not paying the rent to fill out an application.

The idea is current home owners who locked in low interest rates before 2022, will be more motivated to sell and upgrade their homes if they can lock in a similar interest rate.The Housing Floodgates May Open by 2025 — How To Prepare To Buy a Home
