We have been starting the process to get these houses rehabbed but the program is not implemented in every municipality yet and it takes time to go thru the courts.    

We use these door sensors on any large patio doors and you would be surprised how many guests leave the doors open for long (1-5hr+ periods) while trying to cool/heat the house.   

I am a rookie with only 1 rental property as a house hack and I was using rent redi as my payment software until I realized that it charges the tenant a 10 dollar fee every time so goes and pays rent and I don't like that at all if I already paying them every month through my pro membership.

We provide housing for Homeless and Addicted people in underserved communities, and in an attempt to revitalize our Downtown area, and expand our Program (part of it is home ownership and entrepreneurship) we need to be able to buy adjudicated properties, or have them donated, then have the finances to redevelop and repair them. 

We have had a lot of applications and several showings but haven't been able to land it to no fault of the house.

I recently went to a conference on this and got some insights:- Moderate price appreciation: The Bay Area housing market is expected to see continued, but more moderate price growth.

I bought my first house from a wholesaler in 2004 and flipped it for a 40k profit.

I would have looked more deeply into house hacking or creative financing and left the mortgage for the first property where it was.

I am also type of person who always thinks I know what I want and as I age realize things change - I say this because this would lead me not to want to buy a house now to rent to move in the future - I would look at it if it worked as a good rental and assume I would not live there and if I did later in life that’s bonus
