I have looked into a few ways to start off but would like to connect with people who are having success and can walk me through how to start.

My interest in real estate investing started from reading books and listening to podcasts, which got my thinking about exploring house hacking as my first venture.

Most of those lines of credit start with 12-18 months of 0% APR, and the idea is that you can just apply for new cards once that introductory period is up. 

Check references and reviews, and speak with other property owners they manage for.Clear Communication: Establish clear expectations and communication channels from the start.

Michael Short   Don't get me started on how women get short-changed if they are stay at home moms, starting with Social Security benefits....But, if your Mom came to me, as a landlord, saying she's in the middle of a divorce and she should be getting alimony - but doesn't have it yet, may not get what she thinks she'll get, and there is no proof of regular deposits in a bank account to show me it would be reliable - I'd have to deny her.

@Zachary Sales While 10 days sounds like a long time, let's not jump to conclusions.We've had issues where tenants claim they've moved out, but then want to come back to get personal possessions at their leisure.

I've learned so much through this forum and really want to get my real estate journey started.

Let’s say you discount it 50%, $250k for $500k value it starts great (100% return, but rate or return after would be 2 times the appreciation while at 80% LTV the return be 5 times the appreciation.  

I’m a new investor, and I’m planning to start with house hacking.
