Find a house for sale where the owner owes no money (nationally, about 40% of homes are owned free and clear).  

We have a large demand for affordable housing.  

I never anticipated that the bank where I held an account would be acquired by another institution, leading to the disappearance of my account.I want to buy a house in of those 50 states, but I think I need a credit history.

While renting to Section 8 tenants can reduce the risk of non-payment, your property must meet specific standards and pass inspections by the Public Housing Authority.Please feel free to DM me if you have anymore questions or if you just want to discuss further!

So if the house you are looking at is $400,000 in California, you will need $80,000+ to buy it with financing.  

Again 20-30% is fair.I have an almost 100 year apartment building where I pay some of the utilities. 60% is a fair estimate and it's often more than that.I have a couple of older houses in 'bad areas' where the tenants regularly trash the property causing thousands of dollars in damage and move out in the middle of the night.

Make money, save money, buy a house in a neighborhood they believed in, manage it well, and hold it forever.

Hi everybody,A few months ago, I just purchased my first property (yay me), which I'm working to house-hack at the moment.

Seems like you buy a $250,000 house, put $50,000 into it and end up with a $300,000 house ready to rent, but tough to value add. 

We have rented houses before, but always used a management company.
