@Craig Curelop Thank you so much for you advice! that is exactly what I am looking to do at the moement which is to maximize the knowledge I can gain through meet-ups, books, podcast. Thank you!

I actually just finished listening to the episode you were in number 252, really learned from it and took tons of notes. The greatest lesson was to learn to be uncomfortable!

Thank you!!

Hello BP community! 

I am new to Real Estate investing, at the moment I am learning, absorbing knowledge and exploring different investing paths. I have been particularly interested in Househacking. 

I hope to an agent recently and he did not seem too thrilled with househacking, he advised I could lose the home if the lenders found out I was renting the home or most of the home. 

How true is this? how are investors getting through these rules? any other rules/laws to keep in mind?

Thank you BP community!!

@Evan Polaski Thank you for your thoughtful insight. I truly appreciate how everyone who contributes to this post makes a very helpful point and shares their knowledge. Evan, I see you have experience completing deals, what would you say was your biggest pushback before getting started? 

Thank you!

@Chace Fraser Thank you for such thoughtful insight. I think the first point you made about house hacking being a low barrier of entry makes this type of investment very appealing for many investors like myself. 

When thinking of connecting with people, I believe it is very important to bring value in both directions. What are some of the things an early career real estate investor can do to also bring value to the table?

Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

@John Warren  Thank you so much for your advice. I will definitely keep those great points you noted in mind. What do you believe to be the biggest obstacles house hacking investors must overcome?
