However, as I have advised others in the past, I would also encourage you to get a little creative with what counts as a "house hack."

Agree with @Jon Martin about not encouraging more people who would be willing to share a basement studio. 

Don't interact with it/quote it/etc.

Your goal should be to find good quality professionals who you can rely on to make your investments grow and provide stability.Pick an area that you are familiar with where you have a competitive advantage - Think of an area where you travel often, went to school or grew up.I would invest in one property where the purpose to learn and how you interact with your network.

That said, in the real world, it’s often smarter to encourage a clean break rather than spending good money trying to collect from someone who may never pay anyway.Note: This information is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or investment advice.

I always encourage anyone to come out to a few meetings first and see if it's something that is a fit for them.

The more interactions I have with PMC's and hear stories like this I realize how streamlined and systemized we really are.

Thanks for the encouragement!
