Reasonably low property taxes

My goal with this approach is to use lower living expenses to improve my day job cash flow and begin house hacking where market values are low enough for me to "start small".In the spirit of collaboration, I'd love to take this chance to share the latest draft of my emerging investment strategy for feedback.My "Why" and CF Goal:I love not working for someone else, and I'd love to travel without someone counting my days out of office.

However, from what I understand,  it will be difficult to find a lawyer with such a low amount.  

Its much better to lose $100-$200 a month on a property because rent is low, than it is to lose your entire mortgage payment, insurance, tax, maintenance, etc because the property is vacant. 

but for your own, personal, investment and DD purposes, I agree an analysis like what you describe can be helpful on the LOW end in a heated market.  

It looks much better and you managed to keep the costs low.

Water sub-meters run as low as $45 for manual read meters to over $300 for RF meters.

What's great about buying multifamily (5 or more units) in low cap rate markets is that increases in rent have a great impact on the property value.

Apparently my income to debt ration is too low, they would only give me 90% over 20 Years even though my Active Income + Rental Income is double my debt. - Was very strange.
