I'm in a space to do some house hacking, and am under the general (unresearched, unless you count years of Zillow watching) opinion that my local rental market is healthy.

However, if they move in after the 20th day of the month, I require them to pay a prorated rent or the first month and the following month's rent before occupancy.I learned my lesson about 15 years ago.

Since real estate is one of the most popular investment vehicles, it's understandable why so many people want to know if it's a good time to buy.

A business model that has always made sense to me is teaching people how to find good deals and have them bring them to me for more critical evaluation and execution where I invest my capital beside yours.

About a year ago, I took out a mortgage and recently added significant value to the house.

I was scared to even park in these places.

If so, I’d love to connect and chat more.Thanks

If it takes 5+ years to break even, before you actually start saving, is that worth it to you? 

While there are definitely house hacks that have allowed owners to live for free and show positive cash flow the current interest rates and prices make those less common.

I mean if the cabin was 5 years in and losing 60k, I'd definitely tell you to sell.
