Brand New - In the Research Phase
Hey All,
Brand new to BiggerPockets as of today. Just started the research phase and learn everything I can about this process before I make my first purchase. Have no idea how long it will take to get to my first property but looking forward to learning the process and getting to know the like minded folks on this forum.
Hope to speak to you all at some point in the future.

got it. like i said, house hacking is not for everyone.
i'll give my 2 cents. i genuinely think it's a very tough time to get started in real estate. and I DON'T think that you automatically have 'analysis paralysis' if you spend some time getting yourself into a stronger financial position, researching, or both. buying a bad deal just to 'have a door' is a huge waste of time and money.
to echo what @Jonathan Greene said, I'd go to the local meetups and just start networking, learning, and asking questions.
