This trend is expected to persist, driven by Birmingham's affordability and favorable living conditions.

Also, I live in FL and will not touch anything UNLESS I can get it at 25- 30% LOWER than the ask, even then IMO its overpriced.

Our low cost living, weather and current interest rates make for a very interesting investment in the area or in Florida in general. 

Good Morning,I have lived in, rented out, and help clients buy single family house hacks in St.

There are some exceptions as to when you can get away with a single stair (full explanation below) but you'll see it is not easy to do.I actually used to live in/rent a third story attic space with a single stair, and as a tenant I thought it was fine.

We currently live there.

The area I live in has no restrictions on how much you can raise the rent, but I will not be raising them all the way to what each unit should be renting for because they are great tenants.

As a first-time house hacker you want to maximize your revenue and minimize your living space to make the most.Also, there are 2+1 units which are 2 legal units and a 3rd boarder unit (either in the basement or the attic).

I am looking at 2- and 3-family properties in towns closeby, where the taxes and rents are different, and do not want to ask the lender to run the numbers for every option.If anyone can help me figure this out, I would greatly appreciate it.Hi Mohammad, I work and live in the Boston market.

Conclude with: The wonderful neighborhood in which you chose to live has many longtime vigilant residents who do not want their way of life to change.
