Anyway, hope this gives you a perspective to add to yours and maybe we'll run into each at a NEREIA meeting!  

I'm mentally stuck and could use some perspective.  

I haven't seen as much from anyone who's actively pursuing that strategy here right now and I'd be really interested in your perspective.

Wow @Penny Clark thank you for sharing your introduction into the RE space - your perspective helps to show that there's not just "one" way to enter and develop your investments.

House hacking can be pretty complicated from a tax perspective if you've never owned a property before and a competent CPA can pay for themselves by making sure it's all done right the first time.For example, in a triplex (where all units are of equal size), you've got 2/3 of pretty much all of your property expenses that you'll write off on a Schedule E.  

@Jeff RabinowitzMy parents did put money down, however, it is a no money down deal from my perspective.

This is coming from the perspective of a renter.

I know I can show them my bigger Pockets flipping calculator break down but I am wondering if there is anything else I can present the a perspective investor.Thank you in advance,

I will share my perspective over PM if you like.

I am not trying to challenge what others are saying, just trying to put a DIY landlords perspective to show reading this thread.
