Book Contributor Interview: Ben Einsphar
My guest for this episode is Ben Einsphar, a Denver real estate investor and client who contributed a chapter to the 2020 Guide to Denver Real Estate Investing Strategies book.
Ben, along with his wife, Alyson, purchased a home in Arvada to house hack and operate as an Airbnb. At first, Alyson was not supportive of the idea of house hacking but came around after learning more about it on BiggerPockets and the denverinvestmentrealestate.com website. They have great advice to save you time and headaches if you are just starting out on the house hacking path.
