It’s what you can afford right now, and more importantly, it gets you in the game.

Save money so you can afford the down payment, closing costs, and holding costs. 

Affordable housing is disappearing and mobile homes in parks are getting very expensive both in cost and pad rent. 

That improves the block, raises tax revenue, reduces blight, and gives buyers move-in-ready options.If investors stopped buying distressed houses tomorrow, you’d see:• fewer renovated homes• more unsafe/dated properties sitting vacant• lower neighborhood appeal• and fewer entry-level houses anyone actually wantsThat doesn’t help affordability, it hurts it.The real driver of rising prices is supply versus demand, not whether an investor bought the house first.

In my opinion probably no good house hacks in either city in Coppell ISD. 

I did a house hack in Columbus, Ohio in 2017

So, I have this 3400 SF house I am trying to rent out. - All utilities included (except internet, water, and pellets for the pellet stove)- Comes with private sauna- Comes with Private Gym- Comes with shared in ground swimming pool- Comes with wrap around porch- Comes with jetted soaking tub in the primary bathroom.- Partially furnished (everything except living room and primary bedroom)- Comes with property managementTo put it bluntly, the rent being charged is higher than your average consumer can afford... $6,500/month to be exact.When I think of who might be able to afford a rental like this.

While there is a shortage of senior housing, there are not many who have been successful in it.
