In his State of the Union speech (don’t worry not getting political here) last week, the President made 2 housing-related proposals: First, a $10,000 tax credit to middle-class, first-time homebuyers, given over two years.

In my situation I have one property, would like to make it two.

One thing I have realized as an agent is I have two main issues, 1.

@Jason Carter I owned two B&Bs for years which provided a nice lifestyle and loads of skills none of which were transferable to a real life job situation.

I do feel bad when it takes a day or two to get a replacement unit but I explain I’d be waiting at my home if mine failed as well.

Then, be aggressive about negotiating with the seller two options:1) Property vacant at close - you pay original agreed price2) Property NOT vacant at close - you pay orig price LESS an aggressive amount based upon above.Great advice - you should be embarrassed about how low the offer is you make!

It looks like a third party service that links you with several other services like Airbnb and VERBO and all those.

The rent is typically $3200-3500 for a two bedroom.

My plan is to live in the house for about two years, possibly engaging in month-to-month house hacking during that time before transitioning to long-term renting.

Hey everyone, I have a 5 bedroom 2 bath house with a two car garage and fenced in yard in Ypsilanti, MI.
