💯 —house hacking for the win.

I just winning a bid and very regret. 

If you're able to house hack where it makes logical sense, you have a great chance of financially winning long term. 

You have to play in order to win, but if you never get in the game in the first place that in and of itself equals failure.

It also gave me a month to order furniture and think through the decorations and line up contractors so all in all, it was a win to keep the rentals. 

So the Janitor usually wins, defined as making more passive income than your expenses, because his expenses start off so low and stay low.Unfortunately, after you play it a while, you get to know what to look for, like when that one stock becomes available for, I forget, $3 or something ...

Always plan for more than one way to win.

Even if you are not cash flowing on day one, that's okay (in my opinion), you're not paying the full mortgage on your own, which in of itself is a huge win and you learn other tangible real estate investing skills along the way by simply owning. 

The biggest win seems to be the fact that investors will be able to buy existing STR's and carry on with the business.
