Wanting to get started

I'd like to get started with real estate investing. We currently have owned our home, and I am looking to buy some real estate to grow my portfolio and achieve that financial freedom that's always talked about. The best way to start, apparently, is to house hack, however, we are not interested in renting out a room in our home to a stranger and we are unable to move into a duplex or whatever the property may be to house hack. What would be a good alternative to house hacking for getting started on this journey?

Well, you've eliminated just one asset class now that you know you don't want to house hack, so try thinking of the others! 

I know it's generic, but it really depends on what YOU want to do. Do you have money put aside to get a traditional loan on a property? Try the BRRRR method of investing, short term rentals.

Those are just a couple very obvious options as well. Send me a DM if you want to talk more about some options you might have, i'm in a similar boat with my primary right now!
