We just kicked off a new series of podcasts tailored towards Denver investors interested in house hacking. The idea behind this series is chatting with local investors that are either on their first house hack, in the process of closing on their first house hack, or currently working with our team in search of their first house hack. This is the first episode in the series.

This is a great way to virtually network and find mentors who you can bounce ideas off of and learn from. They will tell you what works and what doesn’t when it comes to house hacking.

We will be doing these House Hack Masterminds once a month, so if you would like to be a guest on a future episode, reach out to Ben Einspahr – [email protected].
