The U.S. real estate market seems unstoppable as home prices across the country continue to rise.

If everything is as you say it seems like an easy win.

Seems a lot of sellers are taking advantage of the hot market right now.

My interest is this seems like a smart cheap purchase and the value will continue to rise, and it gives me flexibility to combine lots later to 5000sqft.My concern is that the home is old, i wouldnt be making any money on it monthly, and i would owe so much on these two lots that even if i sell in next 5 to 10 years it wouldnt be a huge make.

Seems like a great website for investors and I've known several who used it.The sites they had set up seemed great.Haven't heard of any agents using it, but if it is similar to the investor websites, I would think it should be good.Does your brokerage not have software for you to use?   

I am really interested in the house hacking method, however, there doesn't seem to be a lot of options in my area for multifamily properties (especially duplexes, which is my target).

Seems many PMCs deliberately don't want to give too many details to owners about maintenance.1) You should be getting bids with supporting pics/videos for your approval.

While it might seem like a significant upfront cost, properly addressing these issues now can save you from more expensive and complicated repairs down the line.Best of luck with your trailer house project, Emmitt!

It seems so complicated, but doable with proper guidance. 

I think the ADU will add decent equity to the property since everyone seems to be looking for space for elderly parents or just a separate area to work and/or play.
