Since I've never done a new lease for renewing an existing tenant, I have some questions:1.  

I'm Grant and I'm looking to house hack a duplex with the goal of reducing my family's expenses.

Purchase price: $252,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $430,000 House hacked a fourplex with my partner Bruno.

I'm not talking about the housing market, I'm talking literally, it's hot outside.

I have heard Midwest is good for a house flip.

The article has some great graphs that are informative as they illustrate the housing price trends of 7 major metropolitan areas in the US, including the San Francisco Bay Area over a 20+ year period.

Obviously there is a lot to discuss on this topic, but for a very quick glance, here are a few pro's and con's to consider when thinking about section 8 rentals:Pros:Guaranteed Rent Payments -> The government pays a significant portion (if not all) of the rent directly to the landlord, providing a reliable and steady income stream.High Demand -> There is often a high demand for Section 8 housing, reducing the risk of long vacancy periods.Cons:Inspection and Compliance -> The property must pass an initial inspection and comply with health and safety standards set by the local housing authority.

@David C.About once a year, I post about finding some absurd amount of money inside the wall of a foreclosed house or behind a water heater in a dark basement.

It's key to chat with local money-wise folks and house bosses for tips.

You are renting and you get 40 or 50 requests for “buyers” to walk through your home every day for the next week while the house is auctioned off.
