You’re ready to buy your first investment property: a house hack! But, before you do, you’ll need to know how to analyze a house hack AND how to calculate cash flow on one. If you know how to do both, you can easily identify the best house hacking potential in your area, so you can save money on your mortgage payment, live for free, or get paid to live, like Danielle Daly.
