#245: Michael Lombardi - House Hacking for Real Estate Wealth: A Path To Success   Michael Lombardi was a house hacker before he’d ever heard the term! He realized that by buying a property with rental income, it would cost him less to carry the property than if he’d bought a cheaper property and was the only resident. His journey began in 2016 in Toronto, purchasing a house and adding 3 units to it. He currently owns 7 properties, and he and I discuss how house hacking works, what strategies to use, what to look for in a property, his mindset and daily activities to stay focused, the current state of the market and multiple offers, and whether interest rates will GO UP, yes go UP, and MUCH MORE! If you are stuck or looking for a new strategy and if you haven’t tried house hacking, TUNE IN!   Instagram: @certaincapital   This episode proudly sponsored by Rent Panda.    Rent Panda helps landlords go from listing to lease without wasted time or headaches along the way.
