Hello Bigger Pockets, I am a 27 year old Airline Pilot living in Pittsburgh, PA.

Determine Your BudgetSet a Realistic Budget: Consider the cost of tuition, living expenses, and your financial situation.Mortgage vs.

As a CPA who lives and breathes real estate taxation, I've noticed something interesting that I want to share with the BiggerPockets community.

However, the units I see myself living in all barely break even on cashflow.

I have lived in Truckee for over 23 years and understand the pain you can go through dealing with a local government where the answer you received on Monday is different than the answer you receive on Tues, Wed, Thur & maybe even Friday if anyone is working.

Carlos, I am from Spokane and I house hacked the first 4 years I lived here.  

Strategies like living in a duplex or triplex, adding an ADU, or renting by the room can help maximize cash flow while leveraging FHA or VA loans for lower upfront costs.

House hacking, short/mid-term rentals, co-living, sober living, or finding ways to add value are where the best opportunities are right now. 

I'm more interested in purchasing 10 homes to have fully paid off by the time I retire, as I'm not living on the cash flow w/ current job.
