BP hones in on the fact that house hacking is by far one of the best strategies for newbie investors. Craig Curelop, an  investor friendly agent loctaed in Denver, shares his story of how he first house hacked a dublex. His strategy involved renting one of the units and airbnbing the second. In the second unit, he essentially created the loft area as his bedroom and airbnb the main room. Does anyone else in the BP community have a creatve house hacking stragegy like Craig's?  Curious to hear some new methods and strategies!

@Michael Dumler - Hey! My strategy was not as extreme as Craig's, but for my first house hack I added a 5th bedroom and rented out all the rooms (except for the one I slept in, of course). The second one I plan to rent one bedroom and block off the rest of the house, so I can airbnb. House hacking is awesome because there are so many strategies you can use -- just depends on the setup/layout of the house! Are you thinking of living behind a curtain like Craig did?! lol
