Due to the current interest rates, you probably can't live for free, but you can definitely learn how to house hack in that first year, reduced your personal housing costs, learn the rent by room/co-living strategy on-site, and then probably break-even after move out, but most importantly, it is possible to make that work in 2025 with today's rates.It just takes being open-minded and willing to be flexible for the 1st year.  

What do you guys think about this strategy of opening up a HELOC in hopes of freeing up some of my other capital.  

Can you either rent out your current property if there’s been little/no appreciation, or sell it tax free?

I know an investor in Minneapolis that specializes in this feel free to dm me.

Feel free to shoot me a call or text and I can get your criteria and make sure I keep you looped in on anything I come across.

Best experience is hand on training, and not some workshop making you go back to pay for free information online. 

Feel free to share more about what you’re working on—I’d love to connect and collaborate.Wishing you a productive week ahead! 

So if you buy a 5 bedroom house and rent the spare 4 bedrooms = you can still sell tax-free under the 121 (you just pay back depreciation) If you buy a duplex and rent 1/2 and live in 1/2.

When its included in the rent, tenants naturally think its free. 

If you need a tool to help you with that, feel free to connect.
