House Hacking in a New City w/no Car.
Hey guys!
I just wrapped a webinar with Brandon '...Evaluate and Offer on Rental Properties', and I hope some of you got to experience it! Anyway, I am looking for your thoughts about house hacking in a new City with no car.
I grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y. and I haven't been afforded the privilege of learning how to drive, even. However, I am considering property in Atlanta, G.A. or Buffalo, N.Y. Affordability is an issue (in Atlanta) which then, doesn't allow me to purchase anything in more urban areas and so I could potentially be outside of the City.
Is owning a vehicle in such cities crucial to success?
Is it OK to carpool with services such as Uber and Lyft instead and as an alternative?

Hi Alex, as a millennial, I have! It'd just be a matter of budgeting for an extra expense and confirming if carpooling or ride sharing services operate in my areas of interest (Atlanta or Buffalo) as you've mentioned.
I do think it is a better option with ride sharing services becoming seemingly more flexible and affordable offering weekly and monthly deals as you've also mentioned. Thanks for your insight, it is greatly appreciated.
