Why You Should Consider House Hacking in Your 40's

House hacking is one way to create passive income streams and fund a flexible retirement with the help of modern home-sharing platforms. Today, Christine McCarron joins Liz and Andresa to talk about how you can start your career as a real estate investor with a house hacking business model. You don’t have to buy an expensive property to get started. You may rent out your home if it has extra rooms, a barn, or even a garage. Christine also shared how you can vet tenants and keep the business thriving without compromising your comfort. Christine is a real estate agent, investor, author, mentor, and podcaster. She loves helping women to create a massive passive income stream and have more money, more options, and more fun! Quotes • “It's just so much easier with help, and I didn't know how much I didn't know until I actually started to ask for help.” (7:09-7:17) • “You just have to really say to yourself, ‘How much interaction do I want to have with these people?’” (11:55-12:01) • “Be 100% honest with yourself about your own personality. That's how you're going to have to decide how much privacy you're going to have to build into this situation.” (12:25-12:41) • “Most people like things neat, clean, not so generic that you feel like you're in a hotel, but you know, bring a little of your personality.” (15:02-15:09) • “I think it's always better to be a little bit pessimistic when you're running numbers.” (21:38-21:342) • “I think you should be looking at your life and your pleasure and what's going to bring you joy, because at this point, maybe isn't all about the money.” (27:39 - 27:48) Connect with Christine: Website: ChrisMcCarron.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bostonreguru Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christine.mccarron.10 Instagram: @BostonREguru1 Twitter: https://twitter.com/BostonREguru Resources Mentioned: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill The Go Giver by Bob Burg, John David Mann Missed InvestHER CON 2022 or just want to relive the experience?
