We're either looking at renting out our current SFH or buying a duplex and house hacking. 

Just interested in seeing how other investors are viewing rent increases going forward.We're mainly buying in DFW and projecting 0% growth for the next year, 1% growth for the two years after that, and 2% yearly growth after that.

They and their competitors guarantee the security deposit and the rent for a monthly fee.

Although in cabarete you can also rent out to the surfers comming in but not in demand allSeason or as much as cabarete.

Over the last 2 years we have been trying to get a rent increase from section 8 as taxes, insurance, and market values made have increased.

I rented out 3 of the bedrooms (upstairs) and lived in the basement which had 2 of the bedrooms, a master bathroom, living room, and private garage access.

My soft skills and ability to communicate and strategize on the fly have increased in ways I didn't think possible for me.So yeah, 100% worth it if you can make it happen, but like anything else in life, you will only get out of it what you put it.

you can get no seasoning upto 80% as long as the rent covers the mortgage

Currently we have a 78 year old property manager who makes 10% of the rent for doing everying....He is adverse to technology so sharing the work load with him through turbo tenant usage is not possible.  

Do you want to increase equity, diversify your investment portfolio, or produce passive income?
