Great information. House hacking is a very common thing in many Caribbean communiies. I've been doing this for almost 20 years but had no idea it had a name.

Profitability vs comfortability process is super cool. Totally practical.

Hey guys, love the show but y'all have to move David's Mic to the other side.

This was exactly what I thought when I decided (and the bank "allowed" me) to purchase my first home. I got a roommate and he got another for which we all ended up living for cheap. I purchased a beautiful home with some dust (yes I got the dusty home discount) and I've been renting out rooms since day one

1:00:30 first book I’ve read cover to cover Lol. Not proud to admit it, being that I accomplished that goal at 21, but my book collection is growing and I haven’t stopped. This video is gold!

Folks, I wish someone had taught me this 50 years ago when I was 23. If you're 23ish, think about that.

I got the book, audiobook, and bonuses. Love it. It's a lot to learn.

Great guy, I need to convince my wife of some of these tricks. I subscribed to Craig's channel.

Been listening to bigger pockets sporadically for a couple years and regularly for a month and just realized I have one of Brandon’s books lol.

Outstanding content, AS ALWAYS

completely brilliant and hilarious (31 mark) LOVE this. Done it several times!!

Time (34:17) define the "upstiars". I own a house with a concrete basement, the main floor and upstairs level.

Hey guys! Craig just finished your book. AMA-ZING!!! But have questions. There is a house I'm serious about buying . I know nobody in the field. Who shall I take with me for the tour of that house I may want? I'm setting up an appointment for next week. Also are there anybody from "Bigger Pockets" in the Oneonta, Otsego County upstate, NY area? I currently have my own house which I want to rent out but I want to do an occupied loan for the house I want. Any specific ideas? I want to rent-out my whole house plus rent the "finished" basement and a room up stairs for the ranch house I want to buy. Help! Help! Help! LOL!

That lucky Charms analogy is TOP TIER.

I'm 38 and I've never not house hacked.

How much leverage is good for your first house hack? I live in a hcol area, but I could also make a 4plex happen. That said, I'm concerned that it will stunt my ability for future loans and to increase cash flow

do people have more difficulty finding tenants for bedrooms or inlaw suite rentals?

Tips on finding lenders? Many I've talked with will *not* factor in rental income from current yr (even with lease in place), and only possibly consider rental income from last year, when queuing up a refi or new note/contract.

Where are you advertising the rooms being rented (rent by the room strategy )? Which platform ? I would say Airbnb if short term (few days) but what about for 6 months or one year ?

@BiggerPockets Hey how did he do the FHA/Airbnb strategy? FHA loan rules do not permit rentals of living units in the home purchased with an FHA mortgage if those rentals are for less than 30 days. The Airbnb business model is not acceptable under FHA loan rules, which means that if you purchase with an FHA mortgage, Airbnb operations are a violation of the FHA loan rules.

If it's a typical owner-occupied loan, usually a year. But check with your lender.

I'm so ready to house hack... I'm selling my primary home because the mortgage is sucking out half my pay. I have about $100k in equity on it, and plan to live in a duplex, pay off all credit cards, and still have enough to put down on another multifamily house. It's been eating me away for a few years now, because I travel for work, which pays for the house, but am only there 2-3 days a week. It's blatantly backwards how I'm living. I'm about to throw a wrench in the system, and never buy another single family house to live in again. I'm hacking until I'm dead!

Mortgage (Principal + interest + Property Taxes + Home insurance + PMI) 2. Home Maintenance 3. Lawn Service 4. Water & Sewer 5. Trash 6. Electricity 7. Gas 8. Internet

I've been dabbling in learning real estate and when I mean dabbling in real estate I really mean dabbling in dabbling in real estate. I just got a confirmation from this video that my plan can work. Although I live in Europe. Where I live you stand in a queue in order to get what's known as a firsthand contract where you rent from a larger housing company instead of private individuals. You can also rent from private individuals as well. I came up with a plan to get a 3 room apartment on loan and rent out a room while either my girlfriend or myself can get into a firsthand contract also with 3 rooms (2 bed, 1 living room. Kitchen and bath are always included here) and rent out the whole apartment while we live in the rented one and rent out one of or both of the rooms in the rented. To try and build my wealth as quickly as possible. I'm having a difficult time with trying to figure out what my next step would be after that. It can be pretty cheap to buy land here, around $10k for about 6k sqrfeet. I thought of doing that and maybe doing something with that. I'm not sure, though. Time will tell and we shall see :) It might not be the quickest way to becoming really financially free but it's better than and quicker that hoping for a winning lottery ticket 😀
