Now purchasing a home with cash is always good b/c obviously cash is king but also I think the part you might've missed is that, the money your utilizing on these home's won't actually be yours, but the banks or whatever institution you used to fix the home or make its value worth more.

Thanks for this example, James!

Hey there @James Colgan - Love the idea of house hacking a duplex!

@James Syed I am not familiar with your county rules.

Quote from @James R.: I've been a "Superhost", whatever that means for 12 years on Airbnb.

@James Wise gonna have to disagree with the "lie cheat steal" concept regarding residents.Any resident has the potential to be less than desirable.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Devin James: In 2021, we saw buyers upgrading to larger homes, taking advantage of 3% interest rates to afford an extra 300+ square feet.Today, smaller homes are selling much faster as higher rates make additional square footage less affordable.While rates are historically average, I don’t see them dropping significantly.
