Start your first house hack by educating yourself, defining your criteria, and getting pre-approved for a loan.

If so, how was the lot with the house on it impacted in terms of market value? 

Hello so I am currently working on a deal for purchasing a commercial/residential property and the seller is willing to do a seller financing agreement with good terms.

We didn't expect the fact that insurance should cover short term rentals but raises a red flag for lending during the 30-60 day period after closing where they make sure you're not using the home as a rental.

Just prepared to run those numbers with their buyer commission, as that will be changing.Third, the property manager should be the driving force behind how and where you invest in the long term.

Does anyone know of a list site that will provide targeted lists (that are not a scam) like:- Owners of houses who have owned thier homes for over 20 years (posssible repair problems so they might sell for less, or possible free and clear owners who might sell for terms)- Non-owner occupied (burned out landlords)Then one could do a direct mail campaign.

1 smoke detector costs me ~$50 where I live, so hard to justify the rest as labor.

I am on my second house hack and to be honest, the first one was a much better deal and makes more sense on paper BUT I got exactly what I wanted in terms of spacing, layout, and location for the second so it checked off a different set of boxes. 

It's paid but their listing, pre-screening and showing is robust.

What are your long-term goals?
