I've started my journey in the expensive Seattle market and found house hacking a duplex gave me a tremendous boost as my first property.The top 10 advantages that played out quite well:1.

Roy, not only did we give you our ALL to get you across the finish line....most of the time we couldn't even get you to the starting gate!

Hi - Congrats on starting your investment journey!

@Ryan TongueWe started with a smaller credit union and ended up switching to Chase as we grew.

I'm looking to get started in real estate investing.

This is located in oak harbor WA on Whidbey Island if that is pertinent for calculating a deduction just a general idea would give me a huge help at least would be a starting point the rent is higher than a lot of similar apartments however as I stated it's on property but the lack of kitchen almost cancels out the benefit of the setting.

I am not sure I would have survived or even started investing being a small time landlord if these laws had been in place when I started investing.

So we are faced with a tough choice: do we rent our home out and lose about $200 per month because of high HOA costs, OR do we sell and hopefully break even?

If you buy high and sell low you will lose money.
