However through my research i keep coming across this term sneaky duplex where people turn there basements into a unit or block off part of there house to turn into a separate unit. my plan is to use the basement for traveling nurses because you would already have the water and power turned on for them "house is 5 minutes away from the hospital", live in the upstairs for a year and possible house hack one of the rooms.

Quick Raleigh Housing Market Update I put together so you can stay in the loop.

The best way to set yourself up to invest is to be financially prepared.

I am a current house hacker in the northern NJ area in a multifamily home. 

I am a real estate agent as well and I was showing a client a house in a neighborhood I know very well.

I am undercontract on a 1910 house in a small town.

Is there a particular architectural style of house you prefer? 

I built it on land with a house I have fixed up for equity and also built more cabins. 

For me, cash-flow in my pocket NOT including mortgage pay-down and AFTER budgeting (setting aside money) for soft expenses is ~21% of incoming rent.

I just sold one of my OREO in Jackson MS.. 1 year ago as a vacant house needed full rehab I might have gotten 25k from a local for it.. just went into contract last week with a hedge fund for 71k NET to me they pay all costs and back tax's.. so something is in the water.
