Hello from San Antonio, TX!

[Chris Jacobie]

Hi,

My name is Chris Jacobie and I'm from San Antonio, TX. My wife and I bought our first single-family home in 2016 and have been living in it since then. 

Over Thanksgiving, I was complaining to my brother-in-law about having to pay for our house every month and he asked me if I'd ever heard of "House Hacking." He explained it briefly and I dove head first into the Bigger Pockets podcasts and Craig Curelop's book, The House Hacking Strategy.

My wife and I are on board for selling the house and moving into a house hacking situation!

I'm excited to learn from and contribute to the forum. I'm also excited to start meeting San Antonio brokers and agents!

Why cant you do it with your current house?? Lots of costs go into selling and purchasing a new home. Selling will be about 10%. New loan and closing costs are going to be about 2or 3%. DONT get a new home just to house hack. Work on what you have now. Get a roommate, airbnb, something.
