Loose picture of my financesRegular small contribution to an ira-20k on new car -148k on new home purchase (closing end of March )-30k student loans-8k credit card debtI would consider the house and new car assets.

My strategy is to rent out my current property to students by the room this GSU fall semester.

I don't have any debts apart from student loans.

@Ram Su I would urge you to have the agent quantify "Better". 

Right now the house is a 3 bed/1.5 bath but if we can create a 4th bedroom in the basement and turn the half bath into a full bath I think we could rent the house out to students for at least $2,000 a month and have a nice cash flowing property.

I haven't been on in a while so I guess I'll break the ice again.To those who have house hacked (particularly as a student), how was your experience?

Student loan payments have crippled my ability to save, which also limits my options. 

I have a single family home that's rented out to three college students. 

I've been on this real estate investor student path for a while now facing the first time investors obstacle course but stayed in line on what was reachable for me on my journey as a student gaining as much knowledge as could in the process in order to succeed.

I can walk you through what I’ve done so far if you want, just PM me.With your starting salary and savings, assuming you have little or no student debt, you’re going to be in a fantastic spot to begin.
