Advice on house hacking

[Sam Jurgenson]

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to BP and real estate investing as a whole, so I just wanted to seek some advice from anyone that has been through house hacking. I live in the Portland, OR area and I’m looking to start my real estate investing through house hacking. I’m 28 years old and work a modest job with a mid level income. I’ve been saving for about three years and have about $25,000 saved up. I am also completely new to the process of purchasing a home, and I’m not quite sure what my first steps should be. As stated in the first paragraph, I am looking for advice from anyone that has been through this process previously. I have listened to several BP podcasts and gained a lot of valuable knowledge, and I’m currently reading the book on rental properties by Brandon Turner. Thanks in advance, I hope to get some knowledge out of this as well as help any others in a similar situation.
