So when you build your pocket neighborhood, which is an interesting concept, what's to stop an undesirable person from moving in.

ALSO, You can buy your personal home that is a rehab, fix it up then live there for 2 years.

I personally will try to avoid buying a home under 1000 square feet again.

I don't have any brand preferences personally (I use Fantasy Spas at most of my units but I'm sure there are alot of reputable options), but just make sure wherever you place it is built to handle that type of weight.

Are you interested in S8 because of a personal reason or you think it's the next "hot" investment idea?

i think this is a decision only you can make. im in a similar boat (house hacking my primary) and considering renting the whole thing out to get a solo home for myself. certainly a lot of appeal in that, given how much work goes into the house hack. but whether or not the numbers on cash flow align is up to you. personally i dont think $150 (seems like about 12%?)

This is one of the best ways to scale a portfolio while keeping low out-of-pocket costs.Big Picture: The Best Move for You•If you need funds now, a HELOC in your name makes sense—but keep the rental in your personal name to avoid triggering the due-on-sale clause.

I highly suggest as many in-person networking events as possible! 

I've personally helped many OOS investors here and they've been very happy with returns.
