Just starting out... In Saint Petersburg Florida.
Hello all,
I'm Joel Di Piazza, I live in Clearwater Florida.
My goal is to house hack my first home purchase. I am looking for a duplex or maybe even a single-family home with a in law suite. I am undecided on if I long, medium-, or short-term rental is the best for me. I am also curious about tax liens.
I hope to make enough cash flow subsidize my mortgage payments. Then a year later I plan to purchase another property with a goal to make me 5k a month in cash flow. And then hopefully leave my W2 job.
I am doing this because I want financial independence to be able to do traveling with my fiance. And enjoy life to the fullest.
Any and all help is welcome and appreciated. In any way shape or form. I am currently looking for a realtor and lender that is well versed with investing.
Thank you,
Joel Di Piazza
