You're already ahead of the game by being on here getting valuable information and knowledge.

Yeah I agree not touching the deposit until move out but it’s funny the way tenants ask me when the deposit will be return has the tone of, “everyone who I’ve left a deposit for has been a pain in my *** so give it to me straight”

Do I get something connected straight to a company like ADT?

At 21 you are way ahead of the game!

You can still come out ahead, Good luck!

Staying up to date and ahead of the information is difficult, but important right now.

The seller probably will not sue you because they have the final say on the price, but the buyer could go legally sideways if they feel you put your interest ahead of theirs, especially if this is an owner-occupancy deal... just keep that in mind.A 90 day extension is a crazy long time, but these are crazy times...

Having recently closed on my first property (a 5-unit, four of which I'm renting and one of which I'm occupying) means both drastically reducing my cost of living at a time of economic uncertainty (the rent from the four rental units covers debt service and operating expenses) as well as projects to dive into while work (and so much else) is slow.Long road ahead to get to where I want to, but I consider myself very, very fortunate to have started when I did.

Hey Sebastian,I haven't house-hacked, but the concept is relatively straight-forward.Purchase a multi-unit property, live in one, and have the other tenant(s) cover the mortgage and/or bills associated with owning the property.

Even if it is closer to 12 months, that is still short of a normal development cycle.I don't have any inside knowledge, but I do think there is midterm risk in the lending market, and I would encourage anyone with maturity dates in the next year to start working (or press ahead) getting a sale or refi done.
