Taking the leap into real estate

[Joe Hearn]

December 2021, I want to make the jump into real estate but i don’t know if the time is right right now. I live in Southampton PA, 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia, i would be looking to either get an fha loan and buy a single family, or save up more money and get a conventional loan to buy a multi unit property to house hack. Any tips/advice? Thanks.

Hi Joe, 

Glad to hear about your interest in real estate.  As far as timing goes, I like many other investors share in your frustration in not being able to time the market.  My advise is to take the leap when you are financially ready, and when you have found a property that works for you.  I am a huge fan of a house hack so a small multifamily would be my recommendation as they tend to be a little bit easier to house hack when compared to a single family. Good Luck with your investing!
