The $250K turned into $1.65M AND leaves him with ~10% CoC ROI and about 25% if you include  And that is why we all love real estate and why BiggerPockets is amazing. 

When I was house hacking back in the day (long before the term “house hacking” existed, we just called it a flop house then), I rented to both friends and strangers at different times and had a MUCH better experience with my friends. 5 years with friends, never had a single issue: no late rent payments at all and no drama even with 8 of us and 4 dogs in a 4/3 sharing a tiny kitchen, usually with a few dirt bag climbers couch surfing or crashing in their vans outside too.

We have hosted a lot of dog owners because they were glad to be able to bring the dog.

We’ve all been doing this since before this type of service was available so perhaps we’re just old dogs.

Renting out rooms isn’t a feasible option for me as we have dogs who are not so stranger friendly so we’re looking for a property with a separate casita/guest house to rent out.

Total classy stuff, family friendly marketing driving nice families around town to buy homes for their 2.5 kids and dog etc.

I can do some (I guess it is called bird dogging ) property drivebys here in San Diego County.

10% invest in mad dog booze ( 11% baby!)

I do not have a college degree but I recently learned i love real estate and decided this is what i want to do im 22 never bought a home the first problem i have is that i did not claim any income last year i worked for cash in construction.

Sweep floors, inspect rentals, pick up materials, bird dog, or get their coffee every morning.
