@Brian G. Do you have any regrets about doing this? I've had a similar thought because traditional retirement savings strategies bore me to death

@Maranda Tucker I was 27, had $6,500 and I made about 75k/yr at that time. I dropped $5k on my first house hack.

@Grigoriy Gorshteyn do you know?

 pretty similar!  you'll find 260ish/month in the south metro where I bought.  I bought an engagement ring and a duplex with my proceeds :)  Downtown minneapolis are in the 600s/m, and i've seen as high as 1000/m with assessments.

Great post!  This is exactly the way I started, the only thing I did wrong was sell ;).  nice work.  I'm curious what the HOAs are like out there, and if you'd have done this on your own if your partner wasn't in on it?

 @Danielle Shipp is this the 10% down vacation (2nd primary) loan option?  If so, i'd love to hear about this and I may reach out to Allison.  I am curious what your assumptions were for your deal analysis and rental strategy?

 @Josie W. Another alex-area investor looking for tips/networking :)

Hey @Scott Reyes!  Welcome.  My wife and I house hack in Saint Paul - would be happy to help you out.  DM me and we can set up a time to chat.

Hey @Jack Goin!  Yes, Josie Wagner is an active investor in that area and i'm sure she could lead you to BP groups and talk about her experiences.  Sorry, I can't link her for some reason but i'll let her know you're looking.
