Joney Talks!

In today’s episode, we will speak to my friend Andrew Kerr from The House Hacking Podcast.

Andrew started his career in a corporate job, then moved on to a non-profit organization where he enjoyed his job much more but missed the financial security. This is when he started his real estate investing journey in order to build that financial security.

Andrew will share his story with us and give us an introduction to House Hacking: What House hacking means, how it can help you achieve your financial goals, how you can start today regardless of your location and the underlying principles.
