Duplex or Single Family, the housing market in the twin cities is extremely hot.

Hi guys and gals, I wanted to start a discussion on starting out in real estate investing by house hacking in a relatively hot market such as Denver, CO and the surrounding Denver Metro Area.

The Portland market is hot, so that may take you out of this area to find something that cashflows much better.

Atlanta RE is getting Hot right now!

We are getting $20,000 to $30,000 more per home than we origanilly planned, the market is that hot "in my market".The party will end someday soon, believe me you will want to have done more deals.  

It's not a particularly hot lead but we do have some rapport and he's a nice guy.

There are multiple factors when predicting where house price movements will trend, but a stronger economy (which is the driving force to end easy money policies anyway) may have a stronger impact on the housing market than the interest rate factor.With more money in the pockets of an average household, there might be enough demand in the housing market to offset the rising cost of leverage.

I've tried boiling hot water and it helps, but not much.

But with property taxes north of 2% and landlords paying heat, hot water, snow removal, and maintenance costs on older buildings, few of these deals are profitable.  

Appliances run on propane or natural gas but not both(Some can but it is rare) Conversion kits may be available for heaters and stoves but more than likely the hot water heater would have to be replacedAs to whether you have an action against the agent and the inspector...it might be worth a call to a lawyer.
