Quote from @John Friendas: There's a house I'm considering buying with a business partner as an investment rental.

I've been considering house hacking in NJ.

If I am house hacking then what should be the insurance.

Any referrals or recommendations for good and qualified brokers, sellers, property management companies, loan brokers, insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, contractors, etc.

Focus on analyzing properties and starting small, like house hacking or buying a single-family home to rent out rooms, while ensuring cash flow and maintaining an emergency fund.

You can get houses at huge discounts and it is a great time to buy for appreciation.
