Once you manage for yourself, no one will take care of the home like you take care of the home.

To make an educated choice, you should carefully weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each option and think about consulting a financial counsellor or real estate expert.As for house hacking in the Dallas/Fort Worth market, consider networking with local investors, attending real estate meetups, and researching neighborhoods to find potential opportunities.

@Olivia Cannizzobuying a primary residence is a very personal decision, and I normally try not to advise on itbut - buying is expensive, in that you can pay significant closing costs on top of the down paymentso... to buy something to live in for 9 months, and then be negative if it's a rental... and now your 20% is stuck in it and not available for when you movedoesn't make a lot of sense to me unless i am missing something.if you move, you could house hack in the new place with a much lower down payment loan... and that frees up a ton of cash for other things.

We reside in beautiful Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.  

They want to use 1031 to buy a property in California where we currently reside.

I'm also in Richmond and am planning to convert a unit of the Museum District duplex I'm currently househacking into an MTR when I move to a new primary residence next month.

If used for 15 days or more or 10% of the rental days at fair market value, it becomes a residence, subject to specific regulations.
