🎉 As we kick off 2025, I want to encourage all my fellow Americans stationed in Germany—or preparing to move here—to start thinking differently about your housing allowance.Did you know that your housing allowance could be more than just a rent payment?

If the other two parties want to flip a house maybe they can do just that as partners and then sell you the house which you can buy with a primary home loan with low down payment.

Progress is slow as we plod into the final week. 

Looking forward to seeing your progress and hearing about your first deal.

One is better than most so you're definitely making progress.

@Heather Bailey When house hacking with a separate rental unit, ensure proper insurance by obtaining landlord or short-term rental coverage tailored for Airbnb activities, in addition to your primary residence policy.

I’m definitely working hard to create a solid foundation for both my family and my investments, and it’s encouraging to connect with like-minded people who are exploring real estate as well.You’re absolutely right about Section 8 housing, the stability of cash flow is definitely a big draw for me, especially with the U.S. market being more accessible in terms of affordability compared to Canada.

House hacking in Chicago can be a game-changer—letting you live for free (or close to it) while building wealth through real estate.

In my personal opinion, it's the land that is appreciating, not the house.

Losing a house to unpaid taxes can be devastating, but there might still be options.
