Welcome to BiggerPockets, Steph!

Which books did you read on tax strategies that sparked you interest at the end of the year? I am looking to read a tax savings/strategy book before meeting with my CPA this year and would love any recommendations!

Hey Cesar! 

Will you be a college student in the next 2 years or will you be graduating in that time?

I was in a very similar spot a few years ago when I was in college and ultimately waited until I had an offer letter post grad. I was able to use the offer letter from my future company as income verification and was able to qualify for a conventional mortgage to start my house hacking journey.

It would not hurt to start looking for and talking to lenders to understand what your purchasing power looks like and what programs are available in your circumstance. I recommend checking out Lender Finder, a free and easy way to quickly find and compare investor-friendly lenders who specialize in your unique investment strategy.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to assist!

Hey Nusrat! Welcome to BiggerPockets and thanks for joining!

Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account.

Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.

Follow your favorite forum topics and set up keyword alerts! Adding keywords related to your investment strategy or market locations can be updated in your settings. You’ll receive notifications when there is conversation in the forums you follow or if a user mentions those keywords—so keep them updated often!

Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do.

Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!

Hi John,

I would have the tenants sign 2 separate leases for the rooms they rent respectively. If one roommate wants to move out before the other and they are on the same lease, you may run into a headache down the road.

Is the home in an HOA? If so, you may have STR/Vacation rental restrictions renting out part of your home and not the entirety of the property on one lease. Are you planning on doing rehab with your daughter and tenants living in the property?

Welcome to BiggerPockets and excited to see another investor in Colorado Springs!

Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.

Personally, I would check out @Ryan Thomson's Real Estate Investor & House Hacker Meetup or @Colin Smith's Colorado Springs Real Estate Investor Association both hosted regularly!
