Our current housing situation is that we are house hacking by house-sitting for our snowbird mom (so we basically have no housing payments), and we are looking to stay that way until we have to move (5-10 years?).

I ended up hiring one of my LTR tenants as a house manager to handle all of the cleanings, turnover and provides my local eyes and ears.  

House Hack?

How well would someone accustomed to living in a dilapidated house maintain it during the sales process?  

Your house looks very clean and new, but lacking a little character with no artwork. 

For example, lets say I strip a house down to the studs and take of the siding. 

If you have 30 houses with a total of $3 million in equity, then you could split them into three separate LLCs with $1 million each.The more complicated you make it, the harder it is to keep straight and the more expensive it becomes.

That should be your focus.Personally if you have one mortgage already that is negative cashflow I would be hesitant to buy rright now, especially in canada where from reports their housing situation for pricing is far worse than the US on affordability and just like US, people think prices can only go in one direction but reality is they are moving in the opposite direction.

My plan was to build and sell the beach house or have it on AirBnB. 

Hi All, quick question, I was thinking on get some temp cameras on my new rehab, as is an out-of-town investment 2 outside and 2 inside, the outside I will keep for the tenants after we rent, the inside is for the rehab process only.this will imply having internet in the house, I was thinking on offering internet with the rent as well, you think this will help on the rental, it will add security to the tenant and I will be able to see the exterior of the house, remember that I'm new on this so your help is highly appreciated.Internet cost is about $70.00 a month As always, thank you for your input !!
