Hello, im new on bigger pockets and interested in using the house hacking strategy to break into real estate investing.

My thought process is make the cash now and invest in real estate later but I’d love to hear anybody else’s insight. 

House hacking is essentially the cheat code to get started into real estate investing.Generally done by utilizing FHA loans and 2-4 unit properties.Basically, buy a primary residence, live in it or one of the units for 12 months, move out buy again and do it all over again.Each time you can utilize fha as long as you refi the former before you use it again.Great way to buy a lot of properties with low entry cost!

My view is that I can get a higher return by parking that cash in real estate as opposed to having some fund manager get me marginal returns on my savings.Appreciate any thoughts or comments.

I will add some Real World example to this. 

For mortgage originators, real estate professionals and investors, the 4.65%-4.45% drop in the 2-Year Treasury should result in banks lowering Jumbo & Super Jumbo Mortgage interest rates next week Conforming and Government loan products are also seeing improved pricing.

This is the kind of situation where you absolutely need to get a local real estate lawyer involved.

Using real numbers and knowing risk, I ended up with the deal How did you finance this deal?

They don't care who's on the mortgage or deed of trust. 

Presuming you are somewhat real estate savvy you can list it on MLS yourself and avoid giving up the seller’s commission you would pay with an agent.
