Bobby Sharma recently retired from his tech job and has switched to full-time Real Estate.  Bobby bought his first house in 1989 and house hacked it (at the age of 24). Bought a house in Fremont, primary residence but built an ADU to rent out part of the house to help subsidize the mortgage. Sold it in August 2007 at the peak of the market. Rented until 2010 but then in 2010 started to buy again.
