House hacking the American dream, the American dream big house, nice car, reputable job, and to blissfully retire.

Cargo van plus a nice 20-22' camper should do it, will probably take another year or so before I get there though.

But as Brant said above, they are lower risk and safer than mom and pop shops.Strip center's are also a great alternative and as you said, the diversity creates less risk and more opportunity. 

Nice to meet you all!

If it is a single family, people will drive farther if it means having a nice house for their family that is close to good schools.

I believe that prospective rent on a 3 bedroom in this area is probably in the $3000-3200 range, while prospective rent on a nice 2/2 in the same building is probably max $2700.

The other nice thing about that is that I wouldn't have to worry about mortgage payments.

Greetings I will like to know how to get leads on properties being a wholesaler I am have been taking notes but I guess I am trying to understand how the channels work as being a wholesaler, I am looking to go out tomorrow and start looking for properties but when I get the contact information what will be my nice approach 

I have a brrrr i am current in the rehab stage on and need some advice.The house is on paper a 3bd 1 ba row home. in an area where within the 2 neighboring streets all of the home layouts are exactly the same. nice solid brick construction row homes of same size and layouts.heres my problem... one of the bedrooms and the only bathroom extremely small. a I am seriously considering enlarging the bathroom into the small bedroom to have a normalish size bathroom and a hall closet in exchange for the tiny bedroom.The tiny bedroom is so small that the township considers these houses 2 bd units and therefore only allows 4 people to occupy them but when the home values are appraised they are appraised as 3bd homes.

Example: a tenant used a pile of leftover bricks behind a shed, that were of no value, to construct a very nice sand-based patio in a spot of the yard near the house that has always struggled to have anything grow there.
