@Ibrahim AtoumIf you're starting house hacking at 20, focus on building your knowledge and financial readiness.

Personally, I think house-hacking is the best way to start. 

I have a client house hacking in Hoboken who bought for a bit over $1.3m - they live in the top duplex 2/1.1 and rent the bottom duplex 2/1.1 as an MTR now and probably will make 4k/month.

Thank you I have presented a 40-60 offer to him now to see if we can get the house at the bottom dollar we would like I for but I am putting a lot of trust in him on the price and feel that we may be offering so low that I seller will not bite 

It's not likely you'll be able to rent rooms out for 1500-2K per month unless it is an extremely nice house/area.

Not planning on doing title insurance since we have owned the house for 50 years and we just did one at date of death.

If the failure to join was a ministerial oversight, then a new deed would probably cure the defect. 

if i buy a rent ready house off the MLS, and put it under management with a good PM... that's basically turnkey too just without the label and the provider.one thing i notice on BP is how many new investors think they're being guaranteed outcomes rather than processes. 

It makes your house more attractive and reduces vacancy.

Is the house hack strategy off the table?
