Christian Villanueva House Hack Analysis - Dickinson/ Houston/League City Texas

. #1 the more bathrooms the better so shoot for a 4 bed 3 bath home if possible you can charge a premium for a private bath#2 you live in one of the rooms with the shared bath and rent out the master you can charge even more for the master suite#3 if the house is clean and in good shape vacancies will not be much of an issue, there are many, many, many people looking for flexible living situations due to work transfers, divorces, transition periods, new jobs, etc...#4 People will pay a premium for a month-to-month lease (you can't really hold someone to a lease in this situation because of potential personality conflicts)#5 Make it "all bills paid" including cable and internet, people will pay a premium#6 $700/Room is not that bad, you could probably charge more if the home is nice#7 The apartments available in that area for $700/mo are NOT NICE plus there is a 12month lease typically, plus utilities, plus they have to move their furniture in, etc....#8 Remember, you are marketing the convenience, people will pay a premium for convenience#9 In my experience I have never had more than a couple weeks vacancy between tenants but both my properties were nearly new, very clean and fully furnished#10 Some clients of mine just bought a 5 bed 3.5 bath home in Clear Lake City Super Nice, upscale neighborhood, for $325k, huge house that would be perfect for a house hack.
