You may not be able to get as much house for the same amount of money if you decide to buy another rental in the future but if you do your research and spend time searching you can still find good deals for similar properties.

That's what you will need to sell the house eventually.

I planning to have backyard installed in new construction SFH.I read this cannot be added to the cost basis of the rental property and be depreciated by 27.5 years since it is not an improvement to the property.But what about paving the patio and side of the garage, where it is touching the house.   

Thinking of house hacking to start.  

Disney area is not really a cash-flow market right now unless you invest a good amount of money into theming AND you knock it out of the park with that spend.They've been building these large themed houses by the literal thousands the last few years and there are a lot of them. 

Does anyone remember when Brandon Turner used NWROI in his house hacking book?

My neighbor said on a face book town page - she was thinking of putting the house up for sale- She did not really did not want anyone in the house because she is a hoarder & had her special needs son living in the basement apt- with NO egress window ( against fire code) / I told her we could do the deal with lawyers - and save money on real estate agents (at that time the seller paid all commissions) How did you finance this deal?

Do people think this is a viable way to build greener and more affordable housing? 

Buy a large house and they can rent out the individual bedrooms.

When calculating rent for a multi-family, does the rent estimator take into account the entire house or is that a per unit estimate?
