Due to the current interest rates, you probably can't live for free, but you can definitely learn how to house hack in that first year, reduced your personal housing costs, learn the rent by room/co-living strategy on-site, and then probably break-even after move out, but most importantly, it is possible to make that work in 2025 with today's rates.It just takes being open-minded and willing to be flexible for the 1st year.  

I've used my own money so far and interested in learning more about the funding side of things.

I'm just new to this world and wonder what someone with some experience would do.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I personally would fix the 3 windows and maybe consider cutting the rent a little more to gather more interest.

Definitely some great advice in this thread! 

This may lead to some longer bookings further out with your 3 bd listing.

Is this approach appropriate? 

But I ran some actual reports for clients this week and wanted to share.
