When you start utilities on the properties just purchased for STR purpose under an individual name but will be transferred to an LLC soon, is that better to wait the LLC to be done first then start the services, or turn them on as soon as possible to reduce the downtime to get ready and change the ownership to an LLC for the utility companies?

Sounds like you are house-hacking which is owning a prroperty that acts both a personal residence and an investment property.Therefore, you have to properly account for deductions / writeoffs as either deductible or personal.Best of luck to you!

Student housing can be very lucrative, but it's also a hands-on clientele, so be ready to pay some "tuition" during the learning curve. 

That means in 2011 or so (I think that's your earliest data on the chart) there was about a 3.5% annual churn in house sales, whereas right now you're looking at a 3% annual churn.

BUT people are looking at the wrong house.

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

Reasons why I shouldn't do this: I have no experience running a residential care facility, I have never done a house hack, I already work a very time intensive day job...do I really have the bandwidth for this?

Especially in the back house, the exterior work will be probably $10k. 

Hey everyone,I’m analyzing a potential house hack in Waterford, CT and would love some feedback from the community.This is a unique property because it has two separate single-family homes on one lot.

I would not bring in a private money lender on a house hack, doesn't make sense.
