I plan on house hacking but in this already expensive market and under this high interest rate environment, it's so hard to find a property in a good location that can cash flow.

In the current environment, many tenants expect elevated concessions and more tenant improvement dollars than obtained before 2020.

Lastly in the current environment we are in (speaking mostly to the outrage by many towns / NIMBY neighbors hating on airbnb's), I think there is inherent risk in every single town that things could change on a dime.

I am aware of the financial side of things such as differences in property taxes etc. but not yet familiar with the legal environment regarding the eviction process in those states etc.Mainly, are there big differences or just slight differences to be aware of?

What  a weird economic environment to sell friends, coworkers, and family on a “can’t miss deal”.  

My clients that are taking advantage of these opportunities have been flexible with their search criteria which opens up more options, even in a tight inventory environment. 

The people who have issues with it are people who work in environments for decades around it such as workers in shipyard or steel mills.

I create an environment where they can step in and do 6 - 8 no problem. 

If no one is occupying the unit and you are in the cold winter months... unplug all appliances including the fridge (they love nesting near the warm compressor motor, and the dishwasher also provides a warm humid environment), open all cabinets and appliance doors. 

In addition to other relationship issues that may affect the environment in the home.
