Make sure that cleaner feels valued and valuable. 

For a house hack, start with what YOU value and work backwards from there.

Im open to connecting and adding value

The 1 bedroom currently has a section 8 tenant paymentAll the rents are under the fair market value for its zip range.  

Are you looking to buy turn-key, or are you doing some value add first?

It's 36 acres, assessed at about $100,000, and walking distance from a highway.The assessor's website does value the improvements at about half the assessed value.

Assuming that the property doesn't go up one dime in value, and assuming that it is a negative cash flow of $1000 per month from now on, 15 years later, you have a property that is completely paid off, worth $500,000.  

If title was not in Living Trust they maybe need to go through probate if total value above the basis plus improvements bundled is greater than $100000.Get all the copies of the recorded deeds on every property.

Rent ready, non value add, mls purchases in San Diego are large negative cash flow if financed at current rate with a high LTV loan.  

So does any one know if the property value goes up if you make it an ALF?
