Hello everyone, I'm new to investing in rental properties and have been listening to the BP podcast for weeks now and have since read several books but I have not seen anything addressing my question of if I have foodstamps, could that effect my ability to use the house hack strategy.

If they're all stabilized leases I'm not even sure you'd be able to get an offering plan declared effective.

If you have a website, make sure your FB connects to it.I do like Scott's take on segmenting, that is highly valuable for your budget and effective overall.

Does this really mean that Due On Sale clauses are effectively unenforceable in Washington State?

The properties cash flowed about $1k per month.Last year, which is 14 years later from his purchases in 2004, he had to move out of his apt because his rent is now over $4k from his original $2k per month.His CT Properties cash flowed the same for the last 14 years, about $1k per month.BUT... if you considered that his rent moved up another $2k more in rent, the over all effect is that he was losing money.He is also effectively priced out of NYC and moved to a lower cost area in NJ.

It’s a nice cost effective option.

Same goes the other way - if a tenant issues a notice to vacate that takes effect on the 10th, and their rent is due on the 1st, they are responsible for the entire month.Another thing to consider here is your desire to change the terms of your purchase agreement by requiring the unit to be vacant (this is similar to the idea that you should be able to renegotiate the terms of the current lease agreement and require the tenants to stop smoking). 

When investing OOS, trust and communication is vital.
