Hi @Austin Bull!

A house hack will probably be one of the best strategies for you to get started and take action while giving you a great return because of the low % down needed to get started. Once you get to this point, make sure to run your numbers for both while living in the house hack (lowering your living expense to less than what it would be to rent in your area) and post move out where you need to be at least break even after accounting for your monthly payment + maintenance, capex, vacancy, property management.

Simply take Rents from the units/rooms you're not living in and then subtract the monthly payment (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance). In most areas today, you likely won't be living for free but are at least building equity and saving on housing expense. My personal opinion is that the first house hack isn't about finding the best, home run deal but rather about getting started. For most to be investors, the risk isn't the deal, it's not pulling the trigger on the first deal and delaying starting for years or decades.

Best of luck getting started! Here for you with any questions you have along the way!

Hi @Carver Woosley,

I'd recommend that you keep/start learning! This can be done through Podcasts, Books, and Mentors you find by networking.

I'd pick up a copy of Set for Life by Scott Trench as it has a good framework for financial independence, especially for a newer investor. Being on a limited budget just means that there may be sacrifices that you need to make in order to start saving for a larger down payment to start investing (3.5% down for FHA). Real Estate is just a part of your total financial picture so don't become too focused on just real estate. You'll want to learn more ways to increase your income now and in the future, keep your expenses low, and take the difference to invest into assets, real estate/business.

As already mentioned above, a house hack will probably be one of the best strategies for you to get started and take action while giving you a great return because of the low % down needed to get started. Once you get to this point, make sure to run your numbers for both while living in the house hack (lowering your living expense to less than what it would be to rent in your area) and post move out where you need to be at least break even after accounting for your monthly payment + maintenance, capex, vacancy, property management.
