We are both nurse and plan to travel for a good portion of this time, so 'living' in the small 1br or studio apartment for residence purposes will not be a major issue for us since we will rarely be there.

What I love most about what I do is building genuine connections with people—whether it’s homeowners, investors, or fellow professionals.

House hacking is one of my favorite investment and wealth building strategies.

Our goal is to be able to use either some type of software or spreadsheets to continue to build off of and help dial in our costs as we begin to hire more contractors for our team.

You might hire a property manager, use a co-hosting service, or build your own team (like I did!).

Not a rookie - While I have never purchased a home without an agent, I have purchased two homes in the last fifteen years in Denver and, at some point, managed both with some form of rental income, plus helping my mom manage the independent basement apartment in her home.

Yes I understand that possibility, that's why I try to build relationships with the builders that I work with so they know that I'm trying to get them a good deal and I know that I can trust them with any potential contracts.

After that you want to build the relationship.
