I am currently house-hacking in a new property where the rental revenue is able to cover the full mortgage and then some.

Multi-family for me has been the way to go and has left me assurance that even during vacancy, I will be covering most of my mortgage.

Hi @Calvin RappardI think the other contributors covered the issue with screening tenants prior to renewing the lease.

On the rental property side we will go through another round of capex improvements, mostly driveways and roofs.

Early on, rents would remain market-aligned to ensure the portfolio generates the income needed to cover expenses, pay investors, and reinvest in expansion.

Getting into the house and house hacking at the very least (when done correctly) puts you in a better position to save more aggressively especially if your entire housing payment is covered.

Everything seems to work as is for the time being, but I'm budgeting for the roof and furnace replacement in the near future. 

@Robert Quiroz, I know this is fairly well covered at this point, but I align with Robert...
