I’ve got My eyes peeled for the next meetup.

I know it seems like nothing out in public is private anymore but allowing more of it to be concentrated in a single place just allows more "eyes" to capture every moment. 

This economy in my eyes is fake, a massive bubble, a house of cards about to crumble and I'm wondering why I'm the only one who sees this......even Jim Cramer, whose advice I take with a grain of salt, said the other day, "The real world is much worse than what the stock market indicates."

@Milton RiveraI think a better way to phrase my question would be do I only need to transfer the capitol gains to the next property or do I have to transfer both capitol gains and what I have paid back/downpayment from current home.Home cost = 165000I owe = 120000Therefore I have about 45k equity if thats how it works.I invest say 30000 into the home and sell it for 270000.In my eyes I see that I have capitol gains of about 75k (i understand all fees I paid are taken out from capitol gains in my favor but ignoring that this is what I am at ballpark)Now that means I should have about 150000 (270000 - 120000 mortgage) in my bank account after the sale (or in a 3rd party exchange account).

As a landlord you will be more of a baby sitter keeping a close eye on tenants that generally have very low social standards.

Would always engage a PM on the first "informal" visit to the property to have additional pair of expert eyes with me. 

I have read different sources on this subject but it seems to be mainly speculative from the eyes of the beholder.

We started that way over 10 years ago with our first purchases, and with that initial experience and knowledge, in recent years we have significantly ratcheted up our investments and have sometimes gone the turnkey route, but at least we did it with eyes wide open and knew what questions to ask. 

This pandemic certainly is opening the eyes, but this won't be the push.

As I say to my four children whenever we are in parking lot, “Keep your eyes up and your head on a swivel.”What makes house hacking so attractive to owner occupant buyers is the ease of and number of options for favorable financing.
