Also, with eviction moratorium in place many tenants will decide to live rent-free for the next 4-6 months or maybe even longer.

The other angle to consider is that you probably won't "cash flow" while you are getting free rent in the property, but trying to live rent free is essentially the same thing as cash flowing.

A house hack would help pay your mortgage but most definitely not get close to letting you live rent free unless you were stacking bunk beds in every corner.

You get to live rent free or close to it for a little while (minimum a year) and then see where life takes you.

I enjoyed the weather and quality of life there but with the thousands of transplants moving in to Colorado in the past 7 years, I would rather leave and not have to deal with the skyrocketing rent or mortgage prices.  

There has also been a lot of growth in terms of businesses moving here that are transplanting workers from higher cost of living cities.

So a Section 8 tenant who escapes eviction for non-payment by the timing of the proclamation gets to live rent-free for 4 months, probably longer given the backlog that will face everyone wanting to process and serve an eviction when this is over.

From what I read and hear, with the huge increase in out of state transplants, Idaho is becoming more liberal as well. 

The person living there will live rent free until they die.

I am able to live rent free though and if I wasn’t living here full time and was renting my space out, there would be profit.
