The least expensive, lowest-risk, least time-consuming way to get started in real estate investing is... (drumroll)... house hacking!
House hacking means buying more home than you need and renting out the space you don't live in. My favorite version is buying a duplex (the whole thing -- both units) to live in one and rent out the other.
Oh -- and house hacking a duplex is also the least expensive, lowest-risk, and least time-consuming way to get started in real estate investing!
In this video, I cover the pro's and con's of starting your real-estate investing carry via house housing. Then I share the blueprint for building up a half-million-dollar portfolio by house hacking duplexes.

    Thank you! Getting into real estate always has a cost - if not a meaningful amount of money, then a huge amount of time!

    love the concept. I just bought a house in Merced, and it’s my 2nd on this house hack journey. I’d want my 3rd property to be in LA. but… it takes a lot more patience and work to find properties where the numbers make sense here, especially if putting 10% or less down.

    The numbers in LA don't make sense if you're just assessing on cashflow. LA is an appreciation market! But here's the pro tip: to achieve cashflow, buy a duplex that allows for one or two ADUs to be built (or converted from existing garage or other structures). Phase one of the investment is just buying the property -- which is expensive enough in LA! Phrase two is building the ADU(s). At that point, you'll have an asset worth a lot more than you put into it with serious cashflow. And if you need any help with that, you know who to call (me!).

    Good analysis and example. You said earlier in the video about buying a place in Indiana and losing money, then you give an example in a high crime area of St Louis Missouri. There are times when the best bet is waiting and letting the market settle out. This is one of those times. Don't buy a duplex near Ferguson MO and expect it to work out. It likely will not.

    Would it work with an fha loan. 50k or less

    Great video. Thanks. Can you house hack in different markets with fha loan or does it have to be local. My lender says it has to be within a certain radius of my job.

    Well, FHA loans are only for owner-occupants. If you’re buying a house in another market with an FHA loan, you have to convince the lender that you’re moving there and will occupy the home.

    Nice story, but not from reality 😂 You need to pay off 25% of your current fha to be able to get a new one

    I believe you can move into a new primary residence and take out a new FHA loan after a year of occupancy.

    You need to pay off 25% equity of your current active FHA to be able to qualify for a new one
