Anyway, we are now still considering this house hack, but are also looking to buy a single family home for a "live in flip" and perhaps purchase individual investment properties out of town.

I only deal with individuals who are either having issues paying their mortgage or investors.

Hi,looking to talk to individuals in my area with like minded goals!

You can hire individual companies to do the work if there is minimal work & permits.

We are looking for a company or individual who can not only prepare our taxes, but also be an adviser to guide us along the way.

Although the county isn't as real estate friendly as some (well, the ahem individuals that have been constantly suing the county) it's a phenomenal location.  

There's an adage in real estate that you should only buy a house if you plan on keeping it for at least 7 years (the real number depends on your individual market, but you get the idea). 

It gives us the opportunity to pay our kids and teach them how to work.I think it would be a good idea to swap ideas and stories. 

I have to pay almost $300 a quarter for my office and my individual fees, as opposed to $60 a quarter if I were with another broker.I've also heard that KW has a policy against its agents buying/selling their own property.
