New Comer Introduction

[Hunter Smith]

Hello everyone, I'm a 21-year-old who has been passively researching real estate since early high school but I've decided to fully dive into it. I'm a Radiographer In military manufacturing and put together a budget so within a couple of years I want to take the jump into owning a property and renting it out. I'm located in very southern Arkansas but anyways just wanted to say high and I cant wait to interact with this forum!

Yes, you can get rid of PMI, but saving 20% may take another 1-2 years. If you bought something today with 5% down, you will be way ahead of the game two years from now and that PMI cost won't matter.

 I understand. Thank you for the advice. I'm taking a more conservative approach for now as I'm inexperienced and need to be prepared for any unexpected costs, Thank you Nathan:).
