I like the strategy of having a job with guaranteed income and taking advantage of owner occupied financing to purchase a house hack, staying connected with the REI community in the area, and scaling up from there.

There's no step by step guide but there are key things : Learn: RE strategies, what interests you, what do people in your area need.Connect: find a mentor, accountability group and be around those doing what you want to do.Help: solve problems- do people need dealflow, property mgmt, construction expertise, etc. 

So I wouldn't hurry to jump into a program right away, but take time to learn your options and find one that fits the strategy/location you want to pursue.

The seller would use this strategy when they don't have a lot of equity in the house.

After watching some of the podcasts and reading posts I am set on starting my real estate journey utilizing the house hacking strategy.

Do we have anyone that has personal experience with a 1031 strategy that is sponsored by an UPREIT?

House hacking is such a smart strategy, and your commitment to shifting your mindset is so admirable.

Hello, Just wondering if anyone can help me figure out a lending strategy.

That’s okay—what’s important is understanding the "why" behind your investment decisions.While your accountant’s suggestion is a great starting point, make sure investing aligns with your own goals and situation—not just because someone else is enthusiastic about a particular strategy.

A Title Company can distribute the proceeds based on the agreement, and consulting a CPA will help calculate tax liabilities and explore strategies like a 1031 exchange to minimize taxes.
