Hi,

I was wondering if any house hacker has ever used a property manager while living there? If so could you give advice on how you did it?

Hi, I'm looking at starting out with a househack and was wondering if anyone has done it with a property management company before? I'm thinking this way because I would ideal like to still keep working will I accumulate properties. A major headache i could foresee would be to come home from a somewhat stressful day at work and then be bombarded by tenant issues. Has anyone ever used a Property manager on a house hack or have any systems they would suggest using  will living in a househack?

Hi,

I'm still somewhat new to bigger pockets forum. I'm kind of wondering/having a curiosity question. I'm wondering if Bigger Pockets has anything like an architectural drafter area as part of the forum? For those unaware an architectural drafter is a person who sometimes works under an architect and creates blueprints for the architect or the supervisor who reports to the architect. I was wondering if there was an area on bigger pockets for people either with those skills or people who are  looking for blueprints for a remodel or other items that may go along with renovation/newer construction work that could be involved in real estate investing? Please note again this is a curiosity question. I hope that I can receive an answer or some other feedback  soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

@Arthur L Dusenbury It's about an hour away. I would look closer. However, from a finacial stand point. My price range would be what's out in Rockford. Would you happen to know any similar locations around Elgin IL?

@Nate Shields Thanks for the info.

@John Warren I would but I would direct you to my comment to Arthur, mainly an issue of price point with the financing I have. Similar to the question for Arthur. Do you know any place similar to Rockford's price point closer to Elgin IL?

@Craig Wilcox Hey, Thanks for the invite. If i decided to go I'll let you know.

I'm also kind of wondering... If anyone knows a good source to read or look at for property management. I'm wondering about the fee's they would charge when vacancies occur. Do they still charge their fee's even if there is a vacancy? I would think so. I'm just wondering what actually occurs/what people's experience with this are?

Hi, 

My name is Jeremy. I'm new to the bigger pockets community. I'm looking into real estate investing as a means to generate passive income for other ventures.  I'm from around the Chicagoland area, and am wondering if Rockford is a good place to invest in Real estate? Hope to here from you soon.
