I'm not talking about the housing market, I'm talking literally, it's hot outside.

@David C.About once a year, I post about finding some absurd amount of money inside the wall of a foreclosed house or behind a water heater in a dark basement.

Although, I felt that we needed more information, I also felt that there were enough signs that the housing and rental market were declining.

I really want to get into flipping houses if not at least working on the in my own time, however; I am worried about the time and money aspect.

You are renting and you get 40 or 50 requests for “buyers” to walk through your home every day for the next week while the house is auctioned off.

I'm Grant and I'm looking to house hack a duplex with the goal of reducing my family's expenses.

Purchase price: $252,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $430,000 House hacked a fourplex with my partner Bruno.

We would use 5-10 for some repairs in the condo we are currently living in and then rent it out and house hack another condo with a VA loan.

In terms of a tenant that has paid before and had a lease, who refuses to now pay or no longer has a written lease - this is still a matter for housing court as they are a holdover tenant, not a squatter. 

I am retired and working on career #2 and 2 of 3 of our kids have left for college - our oldest is headed to UConn for her PhD (6 years) and instead of paying to rent, our thoughts are to do a version of a house hack with buying a house/condo and renting out one to two rooms to offset the costs of her rent.
