An aspiring rookie investor considering a house hack as my entry into real estate.

She stated that he has been using drugs in the house and apparently, one of the neighbors saw him shooting up in his arm while the garage door was open.

My friend has seen and had horror stories - it's the same in any affordable housing market.  

Our cleaner had to spend 10 hours to clean the whole house!

We are looking at a house on the West side of PCB and wondering everyones recommendations- would you choose a house- 2 blocks from beach with a golf cart- (I can link the VRBO for anyone to see) or go with a Townhouse in Horizon South.  

Hi Everyone, I'm new to real estate and like the idea of house hacking and rentals. 

@Kenneth Tiedemann you can use personal account, just be sure to follow your state and local laws about security deposits.If you're parents are living in the home with the tenants, then they are also exempt from most Fair Housing requirements, but you should look into them anyways.You'll want a good lease to protect your parents and to be able to evict if/when necessary.Check their home insurance policy as it probably needs at least a rider to cover renting.
