Tips on first house hack property
Hi everyone.
Side note- I am working towards getting my first property and I plan to house-hack.
Personally, I do not know how to repair anything. I can paint but I don't have skills to even change a door handle. My boyfriend is very handy but I cannot rely on him all the time.
What do you suggest I learn to fix/deal with before buying my first property? Do you suggest learning the tiny things such as changing a door lock/handle and then have plumbers+contractors names on the side? When is it more efficient to call someone? I know you can write off these things but I am on a tight budget so I need to save all I can!
Any tips and pointers are useful!
