I did a house hack in Columbus, Ohio in 2017

Quote from @Scott Mac: What problems are you guys having with the Housing Court From a Landlord's point of view?  

Huge “instant value.”Except… I don’t know a single stabilized student housing operator running sub-30% OpEx without cutting corners so aggressively that the NOI becomes fiction.Here’s what I’m seeing in the real numbers:Where the OM breaks realityManagement fees appear included,but once you properly account for student housing staffing — 28% isn’t sustainable.CapEx reserves?

To find real flippers and build a reliable team, lead with value and tight filters: define your flip box, then post and ask at local meetups, investor FB groups, and supply houses for intros to GCs, agents, and lenders who’ve closed multiple flips this year; run quick interviews, verify with photos, permits, and past HUDs, and start them on a small, time‑boxed task to test communication, updates, and workmanship before giving bigger scopes.

Over time, that house has filled up with five working adults, which caused the rent to increase quite a bit.

It took a longer closing period, but it paid off.My clients just closed on a duplex using the FHA house hack strategy, and it’s a great example for anyone looking to get started.Here’s the setup:• Purchase price: $534,900 duplex (2/2 left + 2/2 right)• Financing: FHA loan• Negotiation: Seller covered closing costs + rate buydown• Cash to close: $21,879.56The plan:• Live in one unit, rent out the other• Current rent from the occupied unit: $1,495/month• After factoring that in, total cost of ownership drops to about $1,800/monthWhy it works: FHA allows low down payments if you occupy one unit.

You'll want to make sure you have a system to vet and hire competent workers on the in-house side, and/or that your vendors are trusted and respond quickly.

Six acres in a fast-developing area plus an income-producing remodeled house should be getting some bites, so if you’re not seeing showings after two months, it’s probably less about the property and more about how it’s being marketed and who it’s reaching.Here’s what I’d look at:1.
