New Member Looking to House Hack (Westmoreland County)

Madison Stoner
Posted

Hi! My name is Madison, and I'm 26. I’m looking to make my first real estate investment in Westmoreland County. I am looking to house hack with a duplex or triplex. 

I would love to connect with anyone who has experience in this market. I’ve done the research and would appreciate any advice you could offer!

Thank you!

 I am a complete newbie to house hacking, real estate investing, and real estate in general. I don't mean to cause offense - this is me just asking a genuine question. What do you know about Westmoreland County? I see you have Houston, Dallas, and Austin Tx listed as a tagline in your profile, do you also specialize in Westmoreland County? Or did you run some numbers or have some other set of data you're using to come to the conclusion that Westmoreland County is, in fact, an area conducive to being profitable in house hacking? Or is it that house hacking is just profitable in general, regardless of the geographic area? 

Again, I don't mean to come off as a di*k head lol. this is a genuine question

    @Robert Westenberger 

    House Hacking generally is a smart way and almost risk-free way for anyone to start real estate investing. I am based in Texas and I understand that there is a lot of affordable duplexes in Westmoreland County for a low as $90,000 on Zillow.

    If you are looking to House Hack like @Madison Stoner  I recommend you interview some local Investor Minded Real Estate Agent and hire the one you feel most comfortable with. That Investor-Realtor will guide you through the process of getting your first house hack closed.

    All the best.
