I've finally purchased a three family home to "house hack" my way into the real estate world.

Epic Real Estate InvestingThere are a ton of other great ones out there but you won't go wrong starting with these three.

Our vacant apartments are in a blue collar town where 19 and 20 year old are getting factory jobs for $14-$20 an hours, but no one has any savings. 

The three most common products that qualify for 1031 treatment and tax deferral but are absolutely passive in nature are the Tenants In Common (TIC), the NNN lease or ground lease, and the Delaware Statutory Trust. 

I have been reading, learning and listening to hundreds of hours of podcasts.

Make sure you read through this before proceeding, because the $8/hour employee you spoke to on the phone could be mistaken.

The ones that drive 8 hours to sit on a couch just like they would at home are the worst.

Most towns have noise ordinances or quiet hours.

@Vincent Lo About another 9 hours. 

Hi All,If your main goal is to invest in rental properties and retire from the corporate world in the next 5-10 years would you choose a job that pays more, is more stressful, longer hours and more one dimensional or a job that pays 20k less but is less stressful, easier commute and more transferrable to other industries?
