A partner and I are looking to get into house-hacking mid-late next year and are starting the process early.

Thanks a million, Kristin Hi Kristin, my business partner do this in the Phoenix market actually.

They are inexpensive but you will get low intent sellers that youwill need to filter and nurture.Irecommend finding a good guru course and sticking to it, partnering with another investor/or working for one, or have someone on hand that is knowledgeable that you can pester :)

A key strategy here is to partner with a knowledgeable local GC.

They focus here because the price points are much easier, laws are landlord friendly, and more importantly they have a company they're partnering with that's vertically integrated that they like and can trust with over 20 years of doing business.

@Danielle DeCormisKey would be to find a DSCR lender that would allow for a second and then with that loan do you still meet dscr ratioA better bet would be to bring in an equity partner

Find them a deal and instead of paying you a fee, partner up with them and they will teach you their process in exchange. 

Buy and occupy for 2-3 years, improve it, and sell it tax free (up to $500k if you and your partner both OO for 2 yrs) so you can move onto the next one.Starting to think team house hacking might be the primary way for folks to make this model work nowadays.

I could partner with someone and probably put close to $100k down but need to factor in $10k for first year expenses into that as well.

Apparently Hospitable uses a public API and is not a official partner with VRBO.
