House Hacking Advise

[Emily Ashbrook]

Hi, my name is Emily. I live in Richmond, Virginia. I am currently a college student about to start my last year. I plan to get into real estate investing after I graduate. I just finished the book on rental property investing by Brandon turner-great book, learned a lot. I was wondering if anyone knew how the market is for house hacking in Richmond and if anyone has any words of advise for me as I begin to start looking for a small multifamily to house hack. Thanks so much!

Emily, I don't really know about Richmond but I did the same as yourself. I recently graduated from The University of Texas at Austin and bought my house hack right after.  

I would say to inform yourself as much as possible through books and podcasts. Read Craig Curelop's House Hacking book. I'd also say to direct message people that are house hacking and get on the phone with them, pick their brain, ask lots of questions.
