Rent-Vesting vs. House-Hacking: Weighing Your Real Estate Investment OptionsIn this week's Mr. Mortgage Show, Mark Eitel takes a critical look at the rising trend of "rent-vesting," a strategy that encourages renters to purchase investment properties in markets outside their living area. While proponents see it as a viable option for those unable to afford homes locally, Mark argues that this approach is not only risky but potentially disastrous.
