House Hacking & Landlording Tenant Relationship
20 March 2024 | 2 replies
There is obviously a formal lease, and we also supplement with a room mate agreement which outlines the more specific things like overnight guests and expectations in dispute resolutions/ cleaning/ care for the home and appliances, etc.I haven't received one formal "LL request" email yet, other than a formal 30 day notice in the event of a move out, which is usually after they've come talked to me in person about it to begin with. if there's an issue, it tends to be pretty limited to "hey, we have this shower rod falling off"... which im usually here to deal with (and tbh most of the time they like to fix it up with me), and it doesnt need to turn into a big thing. as for keys, i have the house on a yale smart lock, so 'handing over keys' is just official move out, walkthrough of the room for damages, and then I can delete their access code and access to the smart home systems without having to re-key the house.

You can find super affordable homes here below the median home price that beat average rent in these areas.2) If you factor in principal paydown, aka the amount of each monthly mortgage payment that goes back to you in the form of equity, AND the opportunity for appreciation, as Raleigh is expected to grow substantially over the next few years thanks to big corporations and swarms of people moving into the area.... you'll find that the math works our quite favorably for owning a home versus renting.3) When you factor in rate incentives with new construction homes in these areas may be even cheaper.

LLC bank account while being recognized as a S-Corp

Seems like a pretty simple fix to call up the bank and update them that the entity is now an S-corp with this fancy new tax ID, possible they'd have to create a new account for it.
