Consider this: you can get 50% of your mortgage and other housing expense covered by house hacking, but your housing costs are $5k/month and you can rent locally for $1,800 all in (utilities, etc.).

@Rahul Tripati In my area it is standard that landlords pay the water and sewer bill, the utility company won’t even put the bill in the tenants name.

Coffee sounds great too but sounds like your not local unless you plan on coming through Memphis again soon.

If you haven't already, I suggest getting in some local FB groups for travelers in your area or region.

Oceanside and San Diego are both great markets but you have to maneuver the local regulations.

After all, with rentals the name is always subject to change. 

As well as doing what you said by analyzing properties daily, this can help a lot with understanding your local market. 

As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

Additionally, depending on how you plan on purchasing - most conventional lenders won't underwrite a purchase in the name of an LLC that has no income/history. 1.

Hi All ~ In a recent episode of Real Estate Rookie, Tony + Ashley referenced a platform that you can link to your hosting platform that will allow guests to book add-ons directly; they were advising someone who wanted to offer the option of daily passes to a local gym.I'm actually needing/would love to have something like this, + didn't know that such platforms existed.
