Hi Laura, Here's my advice Attend Real Estate Networking Events, Join Online Real Estate Communities, Utilize Real Estate Investment Clubs, Network with Real Estate Professionals, Create a Professional Online Presence, Utilize Referrals, Partner with Experienced Investors, Attend Real Estate Auctions, Offer Value, and you know what's the last?

House hacking can take multiple forms from buying a MF and living in one of the units to doing a live in flip for a year with conventional financing to doing a longer stay renovation where rather than staying in your next house for 5 years, can you find a new place where there is a value add opportunity to move every 2 years - that would all be tax free.
