It is my one regret in life that I quit as I missed a huge opportunity where beautiful property was selling for $30-$40K in my area.

In fact, one of my clients last year closed on a house hack near Keystone and turned a 5 bedroom single family home into a 6 bedroom house, and he is living in one room and renting out the 5 other rooms individually between $1,300-$1,400 per month per room because of the lack of affordable housing options up there.

I was debating if I should partner with a friend or family member who is willing to work on a property together. ill be sure to make sure things are done legally and fairly so no one get short sighted and things don't get messy.

And no one ever reads the rules. ;)
