Currently I’m in collage and will be out in about 3 years. I plan on starting out with house hacking and just trying to educate my self with everything I can. I wanted to hear people who have experience with house hacking and just an overview of what they wish they knew before starting, any feedback would be appreciated!

Could have I have been more prepared? Had more resources in place. My advice is be professional in all your tasks. Have a strong lease and renters guide in place. Don't rent to friends: is your friendship worth $100-1000 you will find out. Be friendly but not friends. Take care of their needs and complaints quick and done right. Be mindful when you pick a tenant. They will be living with/near you. You will create your own problems and success. Feel free to reach out, good luck on your journey.
