House Hacking Recommendations

[Dwagne Haskins]

My wife and I are travel therapists just starting our careers after graduating and have recently begun learning about real estate investing. We're currently listening to Set For Life by Scott Trench on Audible and have decided to house hack. We'd like to find a spot somewhere on the east coast or midwest. We'll likely use this as a spring board for future investment properties as well! 

What do you wish you knew before house hacking? Any recommendations and things to be aware of? Areas of the country that might be more ideal for house hacking?

Hey Dwagne, just finished Set For Life and it was great. I would suggest staying in the SE as much as possible because its really booming right now and prices aren't too high even in the market we are in. I live in Greenville SC which is an amazing place to live so naturally I would recommend Greenville. We have great engineering jobs and a growing urban area of about 450-500k people. Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, and South Carolina seem to be great however they all have different rules and regulations so you have to do your homework. I am going off to college in a few months and I will be house hacking down in Columbia SC so I guess we will be in a similar boat. I wish you guys the best of luck.
