Hey Angela, congrats on landing your first house hack! 

In my hometownHome had been renovated/remodeled How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

We expect to have holding costs of $15k to get through the off season and the condo is pretty updated so we would only be spending $10k in renovations (updating the bathroom and then finishes in the remaining rooms).

The house always wins. 

Built a whole house!!

Hi- Considering a lake house. 

Hello,I have a single family house in Northern California which is my primary and it has solar panels.

The house was up to code .

I do deduct my mileage to the house though.

Parcels requiring extensive engineering will be built up later as land becomes limited and housing prices go up.
