That could potentially be risky.Can you house hack? 

Make money, save money, buy a house in a neighborhood they believed in, manage it well, and hold it forever.

Seems like you buy a $250,000 house, put $50,000 into it and end up with a $300,000 house ready to rent, but tough to value add. 

Hi everybody,A few months ago, I just purchased my first property (yay me), which I'm working to house-hack at the moment.

We have rented houses before, but always used a management company.

I assume you want to borrow private money to flip houses and not lend on them (?).

To give a couple examples: a $200k house in the Midwest annual premium may be $1,200 a year and that same size house in the west might cost only a couple hundred dollars.

Again because of the same reason.The real problem is that more (social/medium priced) housing is needed which the local government hasn't been investing in for the last 1/2 governing period.

Shocking how little regard people have for a brand new house that doesn't belong to them.
