can you house hack, or does your lifestyle / family situation not permit it? 

Not everyone is trying to rob landlords, but they do exist.

Lots of time to buy houses.  

Hello,We just finished remodeling a house in the twin cities and we have an inspection to rent it.The inspector said that we were not supposed to change the vanity and the outlet by ourselves.

However, under the "Disparate Impact" legal theory, fair housing issues arise when denying persons with a criminal record involving non-serious offenses and offenses that are remote in time. 

This includes a 4.2% increase in rent costs and a 2.5% increase in homeowner's equivalent rent.New Residential Construction Data: Housing starts increased by 3.6% in May 2024, reaching a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.72 million units.

I moved from Connecticut to Columbus, Ohio in 2012 and started investing in 2017 with a house hack.

Something to keep in mind as well would be if there are any prepayment penalties on the existing loan that you've got as that would cut even further into the funds you'd be looking to take out.

I've been house hacking for the last several years. 

My question has 2 parts. 1) is there a way to change the contractor without his release since he has done nothing to the house yet?
