Questions from a first time home buyer looking to house hack and grow

[Lucas Dolislager]

Hey BP community!

Just getting started on the RE journey. Narrowed down to SFH or small MFH and house hack for my first property. Numbers don't make sense in my market to do anything but a house hack without putting down a large % down payment(open to suggestions if you think otherwise), but I want to build momentum, learn the ins and outs of investing/being a landlord and this seems like the most realistic and cost effective way. Seeking any and all advice on this topic!

I’m also wondering if any of the vets have had experience investing with friends/family members and what they would and would not recommend in regards to that. How have you navigated that without ruining or damaging the personal relationship?

Thank ya’ll in advance!
