I will not say that I'm completely accurate. 

Based on the user research we've seen most use cash flow as a proxy for performance.

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.

Instead of this, I find it more helpful to look at percentile performance across the market for a specific asset type, and also to check comps.

Finding the right price does not associate with market stability or future performance assumptions.

Since I work from home I think house hacking would suit me since I can live on the property and perform some of the easier maintenance tasks myself.

There are absolutely areas where you can beat a 10% cap rate - I see it all the time - you just need to know where to look and what types of properties perform best.Some areas I would check out include Bailey, Arvada, Westminster, unincorporated Adams County, and many more I could point you to beyond that.

The whole scheme was buy a foreclosure, "sell" it back to someone that can't qualify for traditional financing with seller financing at a higher rate, once note is "performing" you can sell the note and make a lot of money. 

It's performed well (except for the air conditioner broke) but was also more work than anticipated.Part of the question with regards to house-hacking is your current living situation. 

From what I saw for the most part the big names you typically hear in insurance typically performed well for people.
