Living rent-free seems like a dream to most Americans, especially new grads with low starting salaries who are facing high rent prices. But what if there was a way to live rent-free, build wealth, own property, and do it all with very little money out-of-pocket? You’d probably take a chance on that, wouldn’t you? If so, you’re a lot like Rafael Bitanga, who bought his first house hack/investment property at just twenty-three years old. Today, he’s showing you how to live rent-free just like he is!
Rafael was poised to buy a single-family home after college. But, after the numbers weren’t working, he decided to switch his house hacking strategy and buy a duplex that had been on the market for a year. It came with all the fun stuff: old carpet, inherited tenants, and missing lease agreements. But Rafael turned it around and got into the property with just $10,000! Want to do the same? Stick around!
