Enjoying the Process Part 4

Hey, hey BP community!

Here's a quick update on the journey to purchasing my first small, multi-family, house hack in San Antonio, Texas.

So far, I have:

* Recently become totally debt-free and raised my credit score significantly

* Increased my savings rate (Following Scott Trench's Set For Life Plan to first $25K)

* Laid the foundation to go back and get paid to go to school for Software Development/Engineering

By the end of 2023, or early 2024, I'll be ready to put a serious down payment for purchase of my first property. Most likely, I will go VA, FHA, or Conventional Loan route.

For now, I am re-reading and studying Set For Life, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrant, Intelligent Investor, and Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. I am also listening constantly to BP podcasts and other self-improvement audios, to increase my business acumen.

I'll be getting back into networking pretty soon!

Well, that’s all for now, and until then I am enjoying the process and hope you are too!

Congrats on your progress!

Let me know when you’re ready to purchase your first home and investment property.

I’m about to start working some JVs with small groups of investors to start small and provide training and experience along the way. 

I wish you all the best!
