Since you’re looking at house hacking, you’re already on one of the best ways to start building wealth while minimizing risk.

A question I hear all the time from investors is: “Don’t I have to wait 6 months before I can refinance a BRRRR property and pull my money back out?”

The thing with DealSnap is that I’m testing a much more lightweight, super-fast version: copy a Zillow link, fill in minimal inputs, and get a clean, one-page PDF instantly - no learning curve, no extra screens.

What’s the smartest way to handle a large one-time gift like this to minimize headaches down the road?

Are you looking to stay focused on your businesses and spend minimal time on the real estate?

My primary strategy is long-term rentals, though I am open to testing short-term rental potential with one unit if the right property allows.I’m interested in off-market opportunities or deals that are below market value, ideally with minimal rehab (cosmetic updates are fine).

The property was recently flipped (built in 1977), and while it looks nice cosmetically, we’re waiting on inspection and permit info to confirm what was actually updated.Major updates already done:Roof replaced in 2021Solar panels on roof in 2024HVAC 1–2 years oldWater heater 4 years oldVinyl fence 2 years oldOur challenges so far: Insurance is insanely expensive, cheapest quote we’ve seen is $3,700/year, and that doesn’t even include the landlord endorsement.
