Stepping into a house and listening to the investor talk about what they did to acquire it and what their BRRRR or Flip plans are was the icing on the cake.Just my $0.02.

The challenge for present day investors is with elevated mortgage rates and record high housing prices, the carrying costs and incentive to invest now can be restrictive. 

A fully paid off property which now should be worth at least $300K with appreciation, I can access 75% of that with a cash out refi so roughly $225K - refi costs.To me, its a no brainer to do bi-weekly IF you plan to keep the house for that long AND you do not plan to refinance (rate or cash out).

Unless this is your dream house and that's what's necessitating the build, not the economics, you should really think twice before executing on this subdivision/new build.

I inherited my father's home and am entertaining someone who has cash offer for the house.

The driveway is 'Y' shaped, very narrow from the street to the back, then both houses have their own parking area in the back.The issue he is having is the other homeowner is 'accidentally' leaving nails, screws, and other puncture problem items on the driveway with alarming regularity.

I started out with a flip house and am currently focusing on long-term rentals.

I did the house hack route, about to buy my 3rd now. 

We live in the main house which along with the garage was built in 1927.

The house looks really dark.
