Hello, we just purchased a total of 10 doors between 2 properties. At one of the sites the guy and the previous owner were married so he managed the property. He no longer has rights to the property (they divorced and...

So if the property gets tied up and the owners still have a roof over their head for 3-6 years, they should have those savings of living payment free for that time.

My wife and I were trying to purchase our first home and wanted to house-hack to decrease our cost of living.

I personally live in a modular home.

Houston house hacking lets you be hands-on, live in your investment, and know your local area, but it might not make as much money and can be a bit competitive.

One great deal per year could absolutely change my family’s lives! 

I actually live outside of Coachella Valley; I just run my business there.

Live and learn.  

I live in Orange County, CA but I have extended family there and like the opportunities that exist in that area.

at this stage I would encourage him to put the cash in a brokerage account paying 5%  like T bills and keep searching and as well I would also advise to househack first before buying low end looks great on paper rentals find a nice duplex buy it live in one side rent the other rinse repeat.
