My Thread on House Hacking: Looking for House Hacking Advice

As I continue my researcher I have to accept the painful reality that once a location has hit a desirable/metropolitan vibe its officially off limits to new investors. All the low capital things are gobbled up already. Once it’s gone metropolitan it’s gone for good. I mean LA homes aren’t ever gonna be like 150k, yah know what I mean.

New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, etc.


How do I think of this? I want a place that I want to live which is stated above, but goes completely against my real estate investing goals. In order for me to get started I either have to find an upcoming area really early on or choose a place I don’t want to live at all, but I can actually get deals that places I can afford.

It’s like I can’t have both. If I want to live where I want, real estate goes out the door. If I want to invest in real estate. I am living in a location that I don’t want to.

I have a sense of urgency because it has always been my dream to live in or near metropolitan area, but also own a home. I am in my mid 20s and don’t want to throw away my 20s not living where I want.

Live my life and “pass on real estate” or sacrifice my enjoyment for real estate.

Living and financial independence goals are opposing each other.
