Looking to House Hack and for a Mentor that I could help

[Adam Thies]

Hey everyone! I just became a Pro Member! My fiancé and I are looking to house hack our first home together. The idea would be that we live there for a year and move into a starter home to start a family in, while keeping the Small multi-family for income. We are looking to move into a duplex around May 2023. I have talked with a few local real estate agents that I found through the "Find an Agent tool" on BP.com and I am working to get pre-approved for a loan. I'm an every-day listener (old podcasts to catch up) so I feel like I know the challenges ahead. I am not naïve enough to know that there's a lot that I don't know. The Kansas City, Kansas small multi-family market is very competitive so I am hoping for any advice or mentorship as I start building my real-estate portfolio! I am happy to help in return.

Congrats on making the decision! It sounds like you found out what you want and how to get it! Let me ask, are you only looking for duplexes in KCK?

Duplex/triplex/fourplex! I don’t like the idea of splitting a house that much.
