Assuming an average income or above and you can work from home you’ll want to narrow it down to only states that don’t have an income tax or you’ll likely lose all your house hacking savings to income tax on your w-2 income and rental income.

@Kelly RomanoYour rental number of 3,750 looks pretty aggressive based on what 3 bedroom places are getting in the area (average = 2,335).

I's novice on this (so be easily on me) and wondering how much does it cost average to build a home on an angle of a hill.

Average fees charged to consumers, for mortgages, have gone up 40% in the last two years. 40%!!

I was part of a panel on show #380 with Chris Clothier and Mike Butler regarding Covid as the "average guy" representative.

I am also going to keep the rents a bit lower than the average in the area so the tenants know that Im not just trying to run them off. 

If you want the least amount of work but lowest cash flow (cover 50-80% of your mortgage payment), I recommend finding a house with a basement/mother-in-law apartment, and live upstairs and then rent out the basement to a long-term tenant.Denver metro has experience terrific appreciation like most metro markets, and over the last 40 years, Denver averages 5% appreciation, so Denver is a great bet long-term.   

Check calendars and determine average bookings per month.

It takes less than 5 minutes to google most expensive rental markets versus rent control markets, or average rent before rent control and after.

The rent is $910 but the previous owner agreed to pay all utilities, which are $450/mo on average (old house).
