Preparation for my first house Hack.

[Richard Sessoms]

I’m preparing to purchase my first home hopefully this year. I plan to purchase a single family home in Raleigh, NC, with renting out the other rooms to long time friends. I just want to know what to prepare for upfront financially outside the scope of a deposit and closing cost. And if it’s a good idea to have a already renovated property or buy a house I can build sweat equity with.
