Today we're joined by Bradley LaBrie from househackingsuccess.com. I really enjoyed my chat with Brad, who started his real estate career in 2014 with a live-in flip that went horribly wrong. Because of construction and tenant issues (his tenant even got murdered!), Brad lost every penny on his first deal. Even though he had a rough start, he kept moving forward. We get into that crazy "murder-y" first deal and also discuss the benefits of doing a bad real estate deal and how it will pay you back ten-fold throughout your career.

In this episode we cover:

• Everything about house hacking
• How Brad lost every penny on his first deal
• Listening to podcasts will never replicate the experience you gain from your first deal
• Low down payment options for getting into real estate
• Navigating Covid-19
• Low interest rates make it the best time to get your first house hack
