Doesn’t sound like the math is working, especially if you are realizing the crazy awesome capital gains the rest of the Denver metro has experienced.  

I do realize you have to occupy the property for a year with FHA, I have been looking in Philadelphia for a house hack property for myself to live in, I guess that's why I bunched that all into the original post.

I realize there are no/low money down options and I have to be the one to grab the bull by the horns (which I'm doing to some extent by regularly taking in as much real-estate related content as possible), but I'm more just curious if anyone else has ever been in a similar situation where you felt like the clock is ticking.

I realize there is no clear cut solution to this and I ultimately have to be the one to grab the bull by the horns (which I'm doing by absorbing as much real estate related content as possible), but I'm more just curious if anyone else has ever been in a similar situation where you felt like the clock is ticking.

I realize this is a training issue on my part, but I don't want to spend the time training, if the agent is then going to spend a large portion of their time with retail clients anyway.

You’ve probably realized some equity in the home since you purchased it, and it will free you funds in the event that you wish to make other investments.Plus, you will still be able to execute the primary at the existing loan balance + other perks.

They often lend 75% or more of the purchase price, take on most of the risk, make a low return, and allow us to realize out sized returns.

Purchase price: $115,000 Cash invested: $5,000 Sale price: $149,000 This was the first home I purchased for myself with no real idea about real estate investments until I rented out my additional rooms to cover my mortgage and saw the possibilities and started doing research and realized I was house hacking and didn't even know it.

People would send me comps that would be only 1/4 mile away, but without understanding of the neighborhood didn't realize that they'd never get that price for the home.
