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

I think the internet is a fantastic tool we all utilize to do our due diligence - no doubt.

You're marking the equities to most recent returns, the reality is a real estate investment to live in is a guaranteed rate of return and serves utility. 

Usually MTR comes fully furnished with utilities included, so you pay for the convenience.if the area has traveling nurses, other professionals that come for a few months for work they normally pay more, in certain cases the employer pays the rent not familiar with that particular market,  but worth looking into it.

It's been great - the property is 100% paid off and the house is worth 300-340k generating approx $2300/mo (that's after utilities/management fees etc.)I'm considering selling the property to buy 3 more within the same price range in the same market. 

Need to watch out for utilities like water meter, electrical, gas, and sewer.

We decided I’d utilize an FHA loan to buy my first property.

Also, right now we are utilizing FB but we may change this next year to a platform outside of FB for better interaction and more security.

It's essential to do your due diligence and perhaps consider investing in more established or upcoming neighborhoods.Property Taxes: New Mexico's property taxes are relatively low in comparison to other states.

Utility improvements.
