I’m looking to house hack my first property and walked through a couple of properties that have a fair amount of square footage but only 3 bedrooms.

Overall, how long do you spend in deal analysis for each property, and how many properties do you review before making a decision?

Either way, it doesn't make logical sense for the IRS to allow them the $500k married exclusion on both properties.

Total rent between the three is $3200/month.I have an adjustable 20 year mortgage with a balance of $100,000~ at 4.95% that is set to adjust in 2026.I also have a HELOC on that property at $180K~ with a 9.75% rate.

However, due to it being:1) In the state of California2) A shared home, rather than an outright external property being rented...the default insurance company on offer advised that many carriers are pulling out of CA and that I should go to a local insurance agency.My current insurance for home policy does not offer a "home-sharing endorsement" but only a separate renter's insurance, which would complicate things, since it's for traveling professionals, and they're not going to be booking for 12 straight months.

We have a handful of properties in the cape coral area that we're trying to find cheaper insurance coverage for.

As a dedicated real estate wholesaler, I source off-market properties perfect for fix-and-flip investments in high-demand areas.
