Episode 34 - Back To Basics For First Time House Hackers With Erin Knabe

Erin is a tech startup nerd, CrossFit enthusiast, and first-time real estate investor in Denver, Colorado. Erin’s appetite for entrepreneurship led her to join a fast-paced tech startup where she leads customer success and is learning first-hand how to build a business from the ground up.

Her first real estate investment has already shown her the power of house hacking and a clear path to financial freedom. She plans to continue building her real estate investment portfolio with house hacking and leverage this freedom to take even bigger and more exciting risks in her career from joining another early startup or starting her own business one day.

Last week, Jordan Smith mentioned how involved his partner is in his real estate ventures so today we are psyched to have his girlfriend, Erin Knabe, with us on the show! Erin currently works for a software startup AND does house hacking on the side. She may be 26 but she’s well on her way to FI! 

In this episode, she reveals how and why she started getting into real estate investing. She also talks about her move from DC to Denver and gives a breakdown of her first deal—a 5-bedroom, 3-bath house. Listen until the end because she dishes out some great advice especially for first-time house hackers.
