The Beginning of my House Hack Adventure!
Investment Info:
Single-family residence other investment.
Purchase price: $211,000
Cash invested: $10,450
Purchased my first house for me! I plan to rent out 1 or 2 rooms in order to live rent free!
Purchased the house for $211k and the appraisal came back at $219k. All 17 windows needed to be replaced/repaired since the seal was broken in all of them. Come to find out that all of them have a lifetime warranty and will be replaced for free once I take possession of the house.
Talk about building equity with little to no effort!!

Hi @Adam Cole! This is super cool that you shared the story of your first house hacking deal. Congratulations!
How were you able to find this property? I am new to real state investing and do not know where to start. Do you feel house hacking is a good strategy to get your feet wet?
I wish you nothing but the best with your investments.
