@Christopher Reynolds My mantra has always been, "Live where you want to live; invest where it makes sense."

So for today If my scanner is working thats what I live on..

I'm assuming that this situation wouldn't pass inspection, but one could argue that all the spaces the guests have access to (i.e. bedroom, bathroom) are safe and habitable + the guests wouldn't be exposed to the kitchen.Also, do the city inspectors inspect other parts of the home the guests won't access (i.e. inspectors check the basement for water infiltration even though no guests would ever be living or even going down there). 

She prefers they sell the house right now, as is, and live off their profit.

And that’s fine it’s not like I will out live the depreciation.

My manger does this all the time.He has an inspection done to verify all the maintenance issue and has someone video the property to verify all the marketing issues.

If you are comfortable living with roommates, a SFH househack could be the move for you.

But if it’s in the main living area and the space is already tight, then getting rid of it could help you maximize the layout.

Me and my partner moved from Utah to Maryland for school recently and we have a townhouse that we are looking to rent. we are currently remodeling and changing a few things before renting. what are the first steps to change my primary to a rental I lived there for about two years.

House hacking is an incredible way to live affordably while building wealth through real estate.
