I'm a new homeowner who embarked on a house hacking journey about a month ago.

Does anyone know if David covers house hacking in his book Long-distance real estate investing?   

Purchase price: $550,000 Cash invested: $27,500 Bought this new construction duplex to operate as a house-hack STR.

As @Ryan Kelly mentioned, long gone is the 1% rule IF you are buying in today's market, but you should be using the calculation based on what you bought it for and therefore your current PITI (if you've already refi'd then based on that value).I'm a big proponent of house hacking, so if you can keep it rent it out to one family (I also like the rent by the room model; you just need to see if there is demand in your neighborhood/area) and then buy next (bigger and better if it's close to where you live now) as a personal residence and repeat.Best wishes,

Have you considered house hacking?

(You don't even need a full kitchen for Airbnb, as these Denver house-hacking clients of mine show.)

Another suggestion is to house hack.

My first goal is just to simply stop renting and buy my own property where I can house hack or airbnb a few rooms out, However this will take me a few years to do at this rate I am at.

I have a very clear answer for you: house hacking!

Hello all,Reaching out to see if anybody has any hacks for getting credit card debt paid down/off, sooner/cheaper.The debt was planned/strategic to get me into my first houshack (and has worked).I have a plan to pay it off fairly expeditiously.The current plan is to use the debt avalanche method.I am thinking that some sort of personal loan could help reduce the interest rate on the debt and provided there are no prepayment penalties on it it will allow me to get the debt paid off quicker with less interest costs.Does anybody have any suggestions as to how one would go about getting the best rate and terms for a personal loan such as the one I mentioned above?
