Looking To Become A First Time House Hacker

[Isaiah Gilbough]

Hey everyone! I’m 20 years old living in Northern Virginia, and am looking to get my first Multi-Family in Baltimore by House Hacking. I landed on Baltimore as my location because of the low entry prices for homes and it seems to be the closest market to me with small multi unit properties to where I can still manage myself. I know looking at Baltimore as a whole can be a no-go to most but I have a friend who’s lived in the area that can point me to decent neighborhoods. I already went to a lender and got pre approved for around 250k depending on the property and how much it rents for. So, I’m now looking for an Agent, who is familiar with Multi-Family investing in the area and possibly section 8, that can help guide me in the right direction in my goals. Would love to connect with and hear experiences from other Investors.

Congrats!! At your age that's extremely impressive. You should be proud. 

I've done it twice on two single family homes and it's changed my life in a short amount of time. 

Best of luck to you!!

 Thanks! It's definitely feels surreal to be my age and on the way to achieving such a big milestone for most people. 

How was your experience house hacking single family homes? And did you rent rooms out to friends/family?
