Really depends on the goals.

Do you have a main strategy to focus on yet? 

I’m considering a place with a basement or an ADU for potential house hacking, just hesitant about renting out part of my home.I’ve been reading and listening for years and feel overwhelmed about where to start.

The thing is, is this normal?

@Philip MurphyYou would need to have the taxes paid and payoff his mortgage for you to receive clear title and title insurance.All debts on the property must be satisfied to provide clear title

However, it's important for landlords to apply this question consistently to all applicants to avoid any mistaken appearance of discrimination. ~ Ran FRIDMAN PROPERTIES FAMILYI don't think you mean this literally, because treating everyone like family is a recipe for disaster!

Plus, t looks like this requirement has been in place since 2021, so I have not been in compliance - anyone have experience with this?

How do you work on the terms with your preferred realtor?

Please let me know is this in Texas?

Thanks for this clarification Bill.Let me add a bit more context and see if anyone can chime in with additional advice.
