Our ideal investment situation is a multi-family home that we can house hack, but we are also very open to single family homes.

I've recently moved back to Indianapolis where I grew up, and I'd like to start by house hacking in the area. 

I’d definitely recommend you read “The House Hacking Strategy by Craig Curelop”.... it discusses why House Hacking is a great initial strategy to get into REI.

I am house hacking!

Maybe house hack a room in your home, start a property management company, be a scout for another investor- get paid by the house. 

Rehab Cost: $30,000New ARV: $470,000The Strategy: This house will start out as a house hack but my long term strategy for this property is to rent out the upstairs by room and then experiment with airbnb in the basement!

Wouldn’t mind finding a duplex and house hacking by living on one side and renting the other.

So far the only thing I am familiar with would be house hacking or traditional financing, however for the amount of money I make these strategies would only allow me to ever do about 1 deal a year and I don’t plan on doing 1 deal a year forever.

It was a recently flipped house, and it is calming for my wife that our first property (which is going to be a house hack) would potentially be fully renovated. 

If I can find a multifamily that is good enough on price, I would want to house hack it to have my housing cost be free or at a very reduced rate.
