We'd even be happy to move them into one of our (future) properties and just let them keep all/most of their rent income as free cashflow. 

However, I’d like to have a space of my own before living with others again (I plan to house hack again with my next property).I’m seeking advice on how to move forward, as I need to consider things like utilities, taxes, landlord/umbrella insurance, and managing the property, especially with someone renting my garage.Specifically, I’m curious about renting out individual rooms and living on my own for a little while.

Possibly staying in a place for a year, possibly in a smaller unit and moving on and renting it out.

I could see hiring a PM once you move out after a few years.

The difference is that I would want move there and house hack.

Hello @Timothy Hilario,I think there are benefits to both strategies.If you move out of your apartment and rent it as a mid-term rental, you could see decent cashflow without pulling equity out of the unit.

Little steps everyday moves the needle in a big way. 

You’ve taken strong steps by hiring a reliable cleaner and listing the property across multiple platforms.

So you feel its been a safe move for you to join RAD?

This method typically provides an accurate, data-driven view before deciding to move forward with a property.
