If at the end of the year I have ended up not making as much as my expenses is it technically considered a loss or since I own the house, has the house provided me more income?

We have renovated the house we live in, and we put way more into it than we should have, because we didn't think we would house-hack it, and we made it customized to us. 

Hey Graham, maybe you guys could look more into house hacking.

Quote from @Doug Webb:Hi I currently stay at project freedom housing support which has 4 units & about 14 tenants to a unit.

Hello everyone,I’m looking into house hacking and wanted to hear some opinions on house hacking a duplex vs a single family home.

I have a 4/2 1550sqft rental (1945 build) that I’m considering selling to potentially build two 2/1 ~700-800sqft houses.

It will depend on the size of the house, the scope of work, and the quality of materials used.

Of course, the wear and tear was through the roof and the water heater or HVAC never seemed to perform to his liking when it is summer and you have 14 breathing, walking talking 98.6F meat-sicles in the house warming it up.  

Good rental market* ( BP won’t allow me to edit my post title. )Hello,I'm looking to invest in a property for house hacking or to live in for 1-2 years before converting to a rental.

If we are considering listing on the market, it's usually a house that is not in terrible condition.
