The blurb caught my attention but after that I lost my interest and didn't read this book. Maybe next time.

An interesting book to say the least; however, the usefulness and full capacity of the hacking strategy is something that I always question with regards to the country that I live in. Moreover, there are bits from the novel that can be quite ticklish to the nerve with the way it is executed.

As a hopeful homeowner, I found this to be informative and insightful. I previously had no knowledge about these tips and tricks to improve the equity of a home which I think is not common knowledge. Some of the recommendations may be more challenging to the average homeowner, but I feel like it'd be great resource for a homeowner look to elevate their equity.

An interesting route to earning more income in the future, however, I found some of the writing choices peculiar with a lot of "we'll touch on that later" then finding the information later lacking. It's a good bit of information for the most part but I think there are some good alternatives out there too that this book doesn't quite match upto.

The House Hacking Strategy is incredibly informative and well explained. Craig Curelop has written the definitive guide to buying a house or residential units, and then renting out as much of it as you can. This really opened my eyes to the possibilities within the housing market - it isn't just about getting as much as you can for the money you have, and then spending the rest of your life paying a mortgage.

Curelop's writing style was warm and friendly - I looked forward to reading more of this book because he is an engaging writer. The way in which he explains things provides clarity for even the most clueless person (aka me), and the detail he went into was great. Though it did mean that I needed to take breaks between reading parts, as it was too much information all at once otherwise. I particularly appreciated the case studies he included. This is almost a reference book for House Hacking (though a bit of an ad for Bigger Pockets at times too!), and I am sure I will refer back to it if I decide to do something similar. Even if you don't think you will, it' s an interesting insight into this part of the housing and rental market

The main downside for me was that this book is tailored to those in the US, and being in the UK, this did not apply to me. Despite this, there is still an incredible amount of knowledge and advice that can be applied regardless, it just means those outside the US might have to do more of their own research into loans in their country! It also means that I cannot comment on the accuracy of the information he provides. My only other critique is that at times it was a little repetitive, but I also think this is sometimes needed in books like this .

I could not read it as It did not give me the option to read it on any online platform! That was maybe due to a website malfunction? Really upset about it!

I got this book because I was curious to know what house hacking was and it wasn't what I thought it would be but I got to know and understand about house hacking through this book. There are lots of tips and tricks, maths and informations and it's a very interesting book. There's a lot to read but will be able to understand the whole process and strategies. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This is a really good insight into “House hacking” including frequently asked questions, short lists, and to-do lists which are really helpful. Useful if you are new to learning about using your house to make more money or investing in property. Particularly good if you are a first-time buyer or investor looking to make the giant leap onto the property market.

There could be a little more information on all of the costs involved rather than just mortgage payment v rent collected (e.g. repairs / vacant tenancies etc) to give a more rounded overview but this provided a good guide book overall.

Overall a good book in you want to learn more about using real estate to make money. Tone and corny comments got a little old after awhile, but this was minor. Good examples given and I like the way the book was laid out and easy to follow. Haven't actually tried them, so cannot verify the tips and advice, but the reasoning is sound. Would recommend.

There are hundreds or thousands of books about real estate and how it can change your life. This one is well written, has a good structure, and has some newer elements. These are the modern phenomena of Airbnb, which makes it possible to get more from one single property, as well as Uber etc., that can get you more income as well as letting you know more about an area.
The book has several good examples, and there are lots of good tips as well as discussions of some negative sides.
It also seems to be a commercial for BiggerPockets.com, but as there is free advice to be had there, it's not too bad.

Thinking of investing in property? This one is a good book for you. Smart advice and very good example on how to invest in property. Sometimes simple ideas really work,

This is very good and pretty comprehensive. Lots of good info, including short lists of t0-dos and FAQs at the end. Very solid info and case studies to inspire you or just show that it can be done and/or how it has been done. Yes, there's some math, but if you can't handle that then RE is not for you. Plus, the author recommends some tools to assist. I read this quickly because I'm interested in the topic. Minus the incredibly corny dialog examples, this is definitely recommended if you're interested in RE investing.

I really appreciate the ARC for review!!
