Hey all! Introducing myself here; 

I am a former biotech scientist turned to real estate professional. I interact with first time house hackers / seasoned investors on a daily basis. Wanna know what they have in common? Both are looking for deals. Wanna know who wins and finds the juicy deals? Seasoned investors. Wanna know why? They don't swing for the fences every time. The seasoned pros do this daily. Win and lose some. 

My first time house hackers 99% of the time just microanalyzer every fine detail and lose out. They don't understand that 90% of the time, just being in the realm and getting your first deal is what matters. I can promise you that my first deal was TERRIBLE, but I lived at a reduced monthly cost to living than renting/buying a single family and that is what mattered. 

So if you're new and looking to jump into the space, then reach out. I'm a straight shooter and will give you an honest take on your scenario. I see off market properties weekly, talk to investors both new and seasoned daily and I am actively buying myself. Happy to connect.
