I chose to convert to a long-term because my time is more important than a little more money.

Rents in the area are anywhere from $1k-$1300 a month.My plan was to get a hard money loan to get it going and fixed up and ready for tenants, then within about 6-7 months refinance the home with a traditional lender, then sit with that home for awhile until I get fully comfortable with the one house.

I hear a lot of investors complaining about the Philly market and saturation in specific pockets, but early there are still people making money on these deals. 

My concern.. if these big corporations are buying up a majority of houses, assuming there’s no legislation in place to stop them from doing so or sell them off, now IS the time to buy before they take everything from us over time.. it DOES seem like now or never.Regardless of recession and lay offs in the future, these big corporations will just buy more, they’ll never run out of money. and we will all have NOTHING.

I didn't make much money, but the most valuable aspect of the experience for me was learning how to find crafts people, acting as my own general contractor, and then learning what order in which to do repairs and improvements.

She'd have to invest some money to create this set-up. 3) Selling doesn't make a lot of sense, because in this market, she'd end up paying the same for a small place, condo, with less flexibility. 

Probably money to be made, but plenty of risk. 

This prevents me from purchasing and maintaining bikes & golf carts so I see it as a way to save money and give guests a better experience. 

I want to show you how I was able to put 0% down on a house hack/live-in flip in the Boston metro area…not to toot my own horn, but because I believe that ANYONE can create a good deal when buying a house hack.Deal Backstory: Driving for Dollars, “Farming” and ReferralsFor the past few months, my wife and I have been putting in offers around the Boston metro area only to lose bidding wars with people paying $50k to $100k over asking.
