Lessons learned: 1) Do a more thorough tour of house before purchasing 2) Have more money saved Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I was researching a house I owned built in 1939 and it took me three visits before they found the file.

All houses were set to boom, but I'll need to check the records.

For my own house, I have the cabinets that came flat from China. 

I'd also find a real estate agent who knows the house hacking strategy or has house hacked themselves if you plan on using an agent. 

I started with an Airbnb, added several more, I am completing my second BRRRR and have successfully flipped 2 houses this year in Austin, TX where I live.

Do I have to sell the house before I get another one?

Repairs are a nuisance,  but an expected part of all housing.

Hi BP -- I'm currently working on my first House Hack.

Good luck on the lot development downtown.
