Huge shoutout to @Kris Danaher for having the win of the week here! See his post https://www.skool.com/candor-investor-accelerator/first-deal-win?p=586474f3 That's some fun potential HELOC/Equity play there for the next house hack. A common theme for house hackers; 1. Takes 3-5 years to save up for the first house hack. 2. 1-2 years for the next house hack 3. Less than a year for the third 4. Every 6-12 months house hacking Househacking is the single most important and easiest way to get your foot in the door on real estate investing.

Hey all! I create weekly market reports for myself to stay informed and thought I should share with this community. By the way, I do this with "Manus", which is a task/research AI. I give it very specific criteria. I do think the rental figures can seem a bit "high", but the AI is pulling from the HUD vs. Rented Comps on Zillow, which can show inflated values by 5-10% actuals. Here's a quick blurb; 1. Executive Summary This week’s multifamily market report covers four distinct New England markets: Greater Manchester & Seacoast NH, Worcester MA, Lowell MA, and Lewiston ME. Across the board, we are seeing constrained supply and tight vacancy rates, driving continued rent growth, albeit at varying paces. Manchester is experiencing significant regulatory tailwinds with a historic zoning rewrite aimed at boosting housing production, while its rental market remains tight with a 3.7% vacancy rate and steady rent growth. Worcester continues to see exceptionally low vacancy (1.7% citywide) and is pushing forward with a massive plan to build 12,000+ units, though rent growth has moderated to a more sustainable 1.9%. Lowell's market is characterized by a 2.5% vacancy rate and ongoing redevelopment of historic mill sites, alongside new state-level ADU laws. Lewiston stands out with the highest year-over-year rent growth at 11.32% and a near-zero vacancy rate (2%), prompting local government interventions like a mobile home lot rent freeze. For investors, the data suggests that while top-line rent growth is stabilizing in established Massachusetts markets, secondary markets like Lewiston are seeing rapid appreciation. Regulatory changes across all markets—from zoning rewrites to rent stabilization ballot initiatives—will be the critical variables to monitor for future yield.

1. Financial freedom: I don’t want to rely solely on a traditional 9–5 career and retirement accounts to build my future. I want to take control of my financial path and create true independence through my own decisions and investments. 2. Freedom of time: Time with family is a top priority for me. I want the flexibility to be present for important moments — like my kids’ games and life events — without being limited by a fixed work schedule. 3. Generational wealth: My goal is to build lasting wealth that can be passed down and to educate my family on how to manage and grow it, so they have the opportunity to create their own paths rather than rely on traditional employment.
