@Corey Lyons in most cases I am a big fan of house hacking as it is a very good strategy for the average person.

Of those that stick it out, the vast majority of them will make below-average income and only stick it out because they're able to live off a pension, a spouse's salary, or 2-3 other jobs.

Yeah, there’s some very successful folks on here that have lenders tripping over themselves to lend to them, but it’s just not the case for the average investor.

I gave my tenant instructions to download the sprinkler system app and to adjust the watering.

What is your average vacancy rate?

Case in point, the NAHB reports that rising lumber costs alone have added $36,000 in cost to the average single-family home.

Rent data lags, so I am not aware of data from 2021, but in 2016-2019 the average rate in SLCo  increased 6.5% annually (https://www.deseret.com/utah/2...).

Straight from the MLS, I'm looking at a 4/2.5, just over 3,200 SqFt listed at $315K with an average area rent of $2100/mo in a Class A area.

Risk free and added value experience Download deal machine ($100), take a picture of 100 houses, skip trace all 100 properties ($14), start calling and asking if people are motivated to sell (in better words) then follow up and expect it to take a minimum of 3 months and 300 properties to find a deal.

Month one you’d have $187.50 in interest but average for the year would be $186/mo.
