@Mark ShubinHouse hacking means buying a place and living in one part while renting out the rest to pay for the loan.

I currently live in New England, but looking to relocate my family to NC.

That's possible, but expect a lengthy timeline and significant expenses.

We actually lived in Charlotte for several years.

if you have a long-term tenant, the first question is, how long have they lived in the unit?

I decided to join bigger Pockets because searching through google of my concerns led me to sign up and hopefully get answers to my questions.I am currently going thorough 1 eviction, 1 chargeback/dispute, and one tenant that nsf and vacated the property after 1 day saying they didn’t feel safe living there.

House hacking helps you grow wealth and cut down on your home loan costs by letting others live in your place.

The general rule of thumb for single-family rentals is the 50% Rule: that half of the rent will go to non-mortgage expenses.

@Karim WahbaSetting up a fund vs syndication for flipping homes comes down to scale and structure.Syndication: Typically involves a single asset, which can be stupidly expensive in terms of cost/time for just one flip unless it's a high-value property.

Live in NYCAny upstate towns where I can invest for a good price?
