Jaylin, Great work on those two properties, can you describe how these house hacks functioned for you and how you were able to procure the deal, house hack, and make it into an investment?

To be clear, a seasoned investor is not using a, please match me function on the featured agent BP program.

Another thing I'd note in general with BRRRRs, assuming you're using lending/hard money, I would always get the big ticket functional/mechanical costs done during the renovations.

And I would ask about the layout, if it functionally makes sense.Those are some of the big hitters I can think of.

As we continue into a 2019-2018 style market (more inventory and less demand), you need to be very cautious on not only price you buy at when you buy, but the location is key even more than it was 2-3 years ago and functionality of the house too. 

At this point I know how to set up and operate a functional Airbnb, but it's my first time actually buying property so there's definitely going to be a learning curve there. 

., the building is currently operated as an STR facility, and the owner is explicitly allowing this new Operator to continue that function.

Planning & DesignWhat to ConsiderWhy It MattersFuture-ProofingPlan for growing family, aging in place, EV chargers, home office, and resale.Orientation & SunlightMaximize natural light and energy efficiency (passive solar design).Functional LayoutPrioritize flow: kitchen near garage, Bathroom near kitchen to cut down on plumbing costs, laundry near bedrooms, good storage.Architectural Style & HOA RulesHiring a professional Architect will save you by letting you know what's feasible, and depending on the land acquire proper soil reports that may be needed.

I suspect I can build this in 6 to 10 hours, but it is always helpful to have another brain on the job. 3) There is an advanced function I would like to build, but sadly I can't recall the mathematical functions necessary to make the calculations. 

So given the focus, there is a performance function and aspect of things.
