Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.

I personally like one sponsor who has been through multiple real estate cycles without losing any investor money, puts very large amounts of skin in the game, is conservatively leveraged and has a very good 1031 exchange program.

Person new to real estate trying to get in the “game” with little or no capital and trying creatively.  

Your nightly rate will be influenced by proximity to the beach, interior design and amenities (ex game options, fire pit, pool, etc).

And answering your phone calls while watching the games does not turn your living room into a home office.

@Emmanuel RugambaChicago is a great market for house hacking because of its affordable 2-4 unit properties, strong tenant demand, and diverse neighborhoods.

From what I’ve learned, focusing on properties with under-market rents can be a game-changer.

I'm always game to chat real estate.
