Currently interested in house-hacking a duplex in Springfield.

The best cities I've done it in are actually the more expensive one's because there's more willing of a seller to let me buy deep(as they're likely owning the house mortgage free) and every fix I do makes more than a 1x on it simply cause of the neighborhood.

The house is in pristine condition with a top-notch kitchen I added in 2021, and it is located in a premier gated community northeast of Orlando.

For example, I just blew insulation into the dividing wall of a side by side 2 unit house.

Good luck. :)I totally get it and in this case it works for us because we already have the loan closed on our next house we are moving into and it's not a VA loan.

My husband and I did get a quote and tried to use it to renegotiate the price of the house.

I'm just curious...I'm here in CA, and with the cost of housing, I'm always wondering if my home is too large and if I should be finding other ways to invest my money, such as buying rental property (2 town homes instead of a house for example) and moving into a house later. 

I got my bill for my house in Lake Oswego from Safeco which I had had for years and it was always around 2k to 2.3 k  i get the bill its 6k.. i call my agent and told him no way.. and he hunted around and found me something maybe 500 cheaper .. so I thought I have a aaa card I know they sell insurance and are reputable.. walk in there 1800 bucks done and I have full  basement ( which is rare on a new home in Oregon) and they gave me a much higher insurance amount if my sump pump fails.. bottom line shop.u
