@Bruce Woodruff it's not just you at least what I see in east valley I look at house prices around us and they are much higher than when we bought in 2016.   

My husband and I are selling our house that we are currently still living in. 

Hello everyone, I have my first 4 plex under contract and I’m planning on house hacking it.

I would like to begin by purchasing a duplex or else house hack. 

Okay, to the answer you're probably looking for...Here in MKE, many of my clients (and tons of other live-in investors) are certainly finding House-Hack success.

I use a PM because…I don’t want to get sued for a fair housing violationI don’t have time to keep up on law changesI have no real idea of what a property could rent for compared to someone with 1000+ rentals under management.I’m too nice to charge late fees, or increase rent maximum amount each year. 

In addition, I pay a 1,000 finders fee to anyone who tells me about an unlisted house that I buy.

Do you feel like there is a housing shortage at all in Lubbock?

They also rented a house of mine without my knowledge.

If you are in small towns that are growing you will be an ally to the community development office as most are always complaining about available housing for business they are trying to bring into town.
