@Natali Cobbis this a house hack? 

My current primary ( scenario 1) Keep the primary for the life of the loan ( current rate is 4.5 so i dont see my self refinancing anytime soon)current home value 1,150,000Loan amount 935,000appreciation estimate 5% per year after a 28 year hold and the house is paid off I would have a house worth 4,312,000$my current mortgage is 6125$ ( piti) included My second option( scenario 2) Sell the house, walk away with $150 ,000 ish in hand and put that into a low cost index fund Rent a house elsewhere for about 3000$ ish and take the extra 3000$ im saving everymonths from not having to pay my mortgage and puting that money in the index fund as well I ran the numbers on both of these scenarios and doing what I mentioned above would break even at about 28 years meaning my stock account would be worth 4.3 million just like my house would , but the only is that holding a house for 28 year would mean 28 years of property taxes, loan interest ,home insurance and repairs etc whick I calculated to be about 1,200,000$ at minimum which raised my eyebrows to say the least Also i understand that each of these options ( stock market vs real estate ) will have there tax consequences ( long term capital gains) so any thoughts on that would be appreciated as well.  

Hi, I'm looking at house hacking, but not sure all of the rules.

The house has been on the market but traffic is slow - not sure if this is due to the current environment or something specific I should address within my listing (we've already adjusted the price). 

The house I bought was a special case and I went it expecting negative cash flow. 

That ordinance is unenforceable due to 2014 statelaw, so we are renting all Tampa houses at 1 night minimum for 6 years with no issue at all Andrew, can you provide some details on the 2014 state law. 

Is it better to first purchase a primary home for myself (living in CT), and if so, does it matter whether it’s a house or a condo?

Despite Austin's population only growing by 1% from 2018 to 2022, it had the biggest GDP evolution at 46% during that time and tied with Fort Worth for an 11% rise in housing, the report says.

Potential Solution: is cosign with a close family member to alleviate payment issues.2) Wanting to close her storefront and run the business in our house.

However, water stays with the house- meaning if the tenant's have a balance when they move out, they can open a new account somewhere else with no problem and the owner is stuck paying the bill or getting a lien filed against the property.
