Curious on peoples thoughts if I over stretched or if this is a “good enough” deal to get my first house hack in this market.

Some people say it’s 12 months minimum before you don’t have to pay back the grant while others say 24 months.

I think that is the best place for young people to get started. 

While I'm not sure specifically if they or any companies that offer Damage Protection coverage for 2 - 6 month stays, I know some people require a security deposit for longer stays (sometimes only half month) to mitigate damage risk and sometimes renters insurance as well.

Your message should maximize your probability of a response 4) Are you hitting enough people?

I'm also seeing opportunity in people "locked into" their low rates, but having a life circumstance changing their needs.

@Nick BednarczykI think people also need to understand that fed rates are not directly correlated to mortgage ratesMortgage rates are more in line with the 10 year treasury which could remain high if we continue to spend money like a drunken sailor

The interviews could give you a lot of other people to follow/connect with for what you need.Investor Mel & Dave - I heard Voros interview them, but haven't really dove into any of their content, but they did 12 seller-financed deals in 12 months.If you're looking for how to get into the USA market for Canadians, Glenn Sutherland's "A Canadian Investing the US" podcast is similar to Voros mix of personal insights and interviews, but (almost) all with the focus on going south.I hope that helps!

The house looks great, but I have no desire to stay in a desert.Other people may love this idea for some reason. 

Are people building in the area?
