Hello, I live in California Sacramento, recently bought a primary house which I plan to do house hacking.

May require permtis and consultants depending on the scope $70-$100 per sq ftStuds out/Addition: This involves taking the existing house down to the framing.

The main part of house is renovated and rented out.

Also the title company said I had to pay all the water bills on all four houses for bills thru the close of escrow date.

One of the most valuable strategies for flipping houses is using OPM (Other People's Money).

I bought a house in a Lennar subdivision to turn it into a rental the following year. 

In recent years, we've often heard predictions about a housing market crash.

You're house rich and cash poor.

If I buy a house hack that needs work that is projected to take 8-9 months and can't reside in the house until it is completed or can only be there between jobs can I still claim it as a primary residence?

@Matthew Perez @Mason Weiss Hey Angelica, insurance companies will look for temporary housing depending on a housing claim that they are working through.
