They could also run away with it– it’s not fun when that happens so be careful and compare what contractors in your area are requiring/asking for.

looking in Kauai, Maui etc areas with str restrictions,  leaning towards ltr. but with high rent and low income for local residents,  is it easy to rent ltr/find good tanents and have cash flow or atleast break even ? 

Passively I spend maybe 6 hours a month visiting the properties once a week to make sure they’re neat and there’s no trash and any lawn care has been done.

Maybe if we were of a different race or rented a higher end property then they would care.

Hi everyone,One of the exterior brick walls on the outside of my building's primary residence is showing significant deterioration and damage.

My first property was a primary residence that I house hacked with my friend from college.

This is correct and often overlooked....yes, you can in some areas, (unless they have the rule about only working on your own residence), but as Dan has said, you will become the GC yourself.

They can change from street to street, and you wouldn't want to own anything on a street that a great resident doesn't want to live on.My advice would be to take it slow, look at a lot of deals, and always examine 2nd and 3rd order consequences.

It was my primary residence that I was house hacking.
