After the new home is built, I plan to sell our primary house.

My name is  Sherman and currently looking at a house hack on a duplex.

I and my spouse are planning on buying a small multifamily and house hack.

Here's a fundamental explanation to get your juices flowing:Assume a house costs $200,000 and rents for $1,500.

I need to redo the roof of the house lift up the second floor, the entire front deck of the house, demolish the old stucco, And replaced a lot of rotten wood and messed up beams.does anyone have any recommendations? 

By this time, I realized Chris was wholesaling the house to me (unlike the other houses on the tour) and charging me to manage the project.

The agent works "for free" until the house sells, so taking them out of the deal is theft, and immoral."
