@Kristee BadetHouse hacking involves living in a multi-unit property and renting out others, potentially offsetting mortgage costs and allowing savings for a personal home.

We have the promissory note, personal guaranty, and deed of trust(title/escrow to handle) ready to go.

If he has the right personality, he will get a better return with real estate investing.

@Laura Casner, personally, I try to step back and think about why I am doing this, as others mentioned.

I will be making $55-$60/h by the time I’m certified at 21/22.I am also looking into side hustles to increase my income such as flipping cars, reselling etc.As of right now I have around 8k saved, and 5k invested in stocks.Obviously I cannot buy a property with just a few grand right now, but basically I just want to ask for any advice or tips you would give to me or your younger self when you started.I usually listen to audio books on personal finance and business while working instead of music to further my knowledge.Any sort of advice is welcome, books, podcasts, methods to learn about.

Some people don't have financial situation, nor have the bookkeeping to track or maintain it.Again, I personally find it very stressful just thinking about living that way for the life of the loan keeping the lowest daily balance possible. 

One person I know has a house in PA, CA, and TX.
