Rent by the room is a great strategy for cash flow (I house hacked my first house and did exactly this). 

If you don’t believe in BiggerPockets message or mission then what are you doing here on the forums exactly??  

Quote from @Trevor Higgins: Sorry to hear that Axel, have you tried to reach out to the city and see if you can be grandfathered in to being able to build the exact same home in the event of a total loss?

@Andrew TrevinoWe’re a Property Management Company (PMC) and we’ve seen owners make the same mistakes, over & over again when looking to hire a PMC.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make is ASSUMING all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.

I have seen an uptick in inspection reports listing items that are not code violations and an abundance of them to impress homeowners with their thoroughness  how do I signal to buyers that they shouldn't expect any negotiation on reports that contain a dump of minor items Hey James,To set expectations with the buyers, I would highlight the fact that the property is priced according to comparables and current condition aka all minor items were factored into the asking price and therefore that price is firm.If you want to share general numbers, you can signal by saying, for example, that: the most recent comps sold for an average of $300,000.

My efforts feel somewhat haphazard, and I hope that an accountability partner or group can help bring more focus.An ideal partner would be at approximately the same stage—slightly behind or slightly ahead—and willing to commit to ~30-minute weekly check-ins to review progress and set goals for the coming week.

All equity.I forget the exact amounts, but I think on the equity,  I (we, really, because it was my wife and me) put in 50% of the equity and had an investor that was a close friend put in the other half.  

@Ladarius PayneLove the mindset, LaDarius — coachable, consistent, and committed is exactly how you win in this game.

I will honestly tell you exactly what I did and how I was successful and helping clients win. 

@Natalka Doblosky@William Thompson is exactly right.
