@Jacob Lopez, as others noted, house hacking is not really a cash flow play, in a traditional sense, since you are effectively removing 33-50% of the property from the rent roll.If you plan on living in a unit for a couple years, then holding longer as an investment, I would underwrite it as an investment.  

My PM is telling me that I can't remove these people because the tenant did not break the lease, even though she is having guests that stay over 72 hrs without any notifying us. 

Some other holding costs that can happen:Lawn / yard careSnow removal

Remove the highest and lowest PER SQUARE FEET values9.

. $30 - $35 per cut, includes weed eating and blow off, no contract required for a year, and leaf removal would be an extra charge.Find yourself someone else man.

It was removed from the tracks.

In any case, based on this thread, I need to start being more careful in the coming year in the way I handle this.At least the 1099 provision in the health care bill was removed.

Rich, I thought you might like to know your video has been removed (golly gee whiz, I'm shocked) because I really didn't need to see it after reading Lee's forum.

Do the prep (spackling, removing nails, any patching) yourself, then hire someone to spray the place.If you can find someone to do a cash out refi in less than a year, I want their name.

Continuously inspect your home for further infestations and thoroughly seal the home away and remove any sources of food.
