This was a house hack I bought in 2017. I put down about 20K which was pretty much my life savings at that point. I rented it out completely after 1 year of living there. After 3.5 years (and a good bit of appreciation) I sold it because I needed the money to use for other deals. At closing I walked out with a check for $70K. So for my first deal I got to live for free- collect easy cash flow-and collect about a $50K profit that I did little to earn. Pretty cool when it works out that way!
