I am not an expert on that process, but the question remains:  why are you entertaining taking this additional risk? 

Expand your network and explore social media events.

While you don't need to become a licensed real estate agent to explore other avenues for tax savings, engaging in a self-employed side job can indeed offer more opportunities for deductions.To maximize your tax savings, it's advisable to seek the expertise of a CPA specialized in real estate.

One additional tip, when I house hacked, I was very naive and assumed that everyone lived very similar to me (ie. wakes up early, goes to bed early, likes a clean space etc.).

if you do it right you can get your money out (and maybe a little extra), get some cash flowing for additional income and do it again.

I’m interested to invest in the area, my husband and I are exploring all different options! 

I'm curious to know how many of you have explored running Facebook ads to promote your STR and generate more bookings.

I ended up not investing for a few reasons even though the syndication sounded interesting:- They said they were oversubscribed but would still accept some additional funds.

Any additional thoughts?

I would love to hear from anybody in the Denver metro area who is house hacking or owns a rental house that is a two story with two separate units (separate entrance with an additional kitchen).
