Welcome to Bigger pockets Barry Sanders !

Here's to bigger pockets! 

I am glad I found Bigger Pockets and look forward to networking and learning from others! 

Some want me to come out my pocket , while others don't answer the phone unless I enroll in their expensive class.

I learned (from Bigger Pocket podcast) that we can use the equity from other properties as down payment for the new purchase.

Welcome to bigger pockets Mike Minor !

I mean maybe some funds out of pocket for repairs, but I don't think that's worth losing money to condo fees every month and possibly being low to negative on the cash flow. 

Hi Bigger Pockets,I'm new to the real estate investing game.

On the other hand, by house hacking you may achieve the same living for free scenario or let’s say that you are $100-$200 out of pocket, but you will also benefit from principal pay down (you gain equity with each mortgage payment), tax breaks, inflation (each year your rent may increase, while your mortgage payment stays the same), and appreciation (maybe).
