There is an easier way to invest in real estate in 2025. It doesn’t require a ton of money or experience; anyone can do it (even a complete beginner), and it’ll lead to you having more money, more passive income, and a bigger bank account. Successful real estate investors agree: this is a “cheat code” to start investing in real estate in 2025.

What are we talking about? It’s not short-term rentals or buying apartment complexes; it’s actually extremely simple—house hacking. Both Dave and Henry used this low-money down, high-impact real estate investing strategy to grow their portfolios to be worth multiple million dollars. It’s the BEST way for a beginner to get into the real estate investing game and allows you to buy properties with just a fraction of a regular down payment.

We’re so convinced that it’s the best bet for beginners that we’re bringing on the “BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast” producer Ian Kay, a complete real estate beginner, to walk him through how to use this exact strategy to start his real estate portfolio. We’ll break down the numbers to show how one smart investment can fund your dream home and leave you tens of thousands richer. Ready to invest in 2025? Then don’t sleep on house hacking!
