If you choose to buy here, pay very close attention to zoning, and run your BRRRR numbers conservatively.

Hi everybody my name is Kamari.I live in Ohio and plan to buy my first house hack by the end of this year!

They should pay the full deposit up front and meet all your other requirements before you hand them keys.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

But the better answer is, don't buy a house if the only way you can cover the nut is to rent out a room.

That said, I buy in cash and then renovate appropriately for the area.

Buying another primary residence, rent our your current home, and then find a place with a walk-out basement where you can rent that to someone else so that you can save more for your next investment.  

If you buy three things and work the same hardness on all of them, two work out and one is a loss you've worked three times as hard to get one win.

I'm a newbie investor, in the process of buying my first rental property. 

Shoot me over your email too and I'll send them over.Also happy to hop on a call to chat with you about raising capital for the first time - my husband and I just raised for our first deal last year, so we can relate.
