My wife and I have never put more than 10% down on a house hack,  most of the time it is 5%.   

@Robert ThompsonI don't think property value are 'low' right now, but lots of us are still buying.In order of easy to hard you can: look on the MLS; connect with wholesalers and others who source off market deals; and reach out to sellers / market yourself.If you can though, start with a house hack or live in flip instead. 

The house hack cash flow should more than pay all the costs and throw off profits.  

Maintenance does not do pest control. so my house, which is surrounded by ten acres of woodland requires $430 from orkin because they cant be bothered to open a can of raid.  

Hi there,I am considering buying a house in Hagerstown on the north end of town.

They ignore that we create jobs, create affordable housing, and stimulate the economy so much that the net result is that tax revenues increase.

Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $200,000 Remodeled the house, all doors 3ft wide, added a wheelchair friendly bathroom and shower.

Whats a better market demand in your area  apts or houses?

Purchase price: $234,900 Cash invested: $7,000 I house hack 2 bedrooms in a 4-bedroom home as Mid-Term Rentals.

Our policies clearly state 4 PM check in, and I couldn't accommodate an early check in anyway because the previous guests were still there and had until 10 AM to check out, then the house needed cleaning.
