Looking back, I wish I had the foresight to house hack my first residence...I would be that much further ahead@Roger Vi I would love to chat anytime you're available.

However, we live in a very small town, so everyone knows everyone else's business.We talk about our rentals with the lady who cleans for us, our friends at church, customers who like to chit chat, contractors we know, just about anyone.

@Brian Pulaski  well that's the point.. we are all in it to win it.... not to just go out and have a nice chit chat with someone.. so you want to go in Guns' blazing.. its rare that these folks talk to only one person.and for sure there was no way I was going to put all the time and effort into this business then beat out of the deal by someone who had Zero money or capacity to transact and in our state was doing it illegally to boot..

PM me and we can chat about your specific situation I would be happy to give you some guidance. 

And no utility connection costs, that was paid when the house was built, so all you'd be paying now is perhaps for a new water meter (the device itself, not the connection fee part). 

If you want to chat about how I did it or get referrals to my team I'd be happy to chat. 

You can PM or email me, I'd love to chat.

Id be happy to chat with you about this off line if you PM me, I have several properties that I use short term within HOA communities and all is going well.  

@Verna Littleton - Also don't trust the online chat either.I've had better luck going through their FB page!

After all im sure your aunt isnt giving you an unsecured loan...PM me if you want to chat.
