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

The best advice on this topic, in my opinion, comes from 2 books:How to win friends and influence peopleNever eat aloneI am also looking for brokerages to work with or even experienced shadow / intern for to gain experience and additional knowledge.

Overall, I think these are solid markets to invest in with many Pros, but Cons as well (of course).Happy to connect and knowledge if you are interested.

Invest in my knowledge/education of real estate rental investment through reading, listening to podcasts, and talking/networking with other RE investors, etc.

Exceptionally knowledgeable, very professional, and service oriented.

It takes a certain level of QB knowledge to set it up correctly.

However, I have very little knowledge about getting started.

Caveat: I have not invested in any of their funds and just sharing my knowledge, I am not saying they are or are not in any financial stress

Your extensive knowledge in flipping, contracting, property management, and private money lending will surely be a huge asset to the community.

If you desire to get it by all means go for it - knowledge is power - but thats knowledge you pay for that may or may not pay off for you.
