First Discussion and First Property Questions

[Nitanga Jean De Dieu]

Hi everyone,

I am new to BiggerPockets, I just created my account a few days ago and this is my first post. Listening to BiggerPockets podcast and reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad has motivated me to become a real estate investor. My short term goal is to purchase my first Multifamily property next summer for $200k or less using FHA loan and househack. I'm trying to save $20k-$30k for down payment and any other expenses, and working to get my credit score above 700. Like any other first time investor I'm a bit nervous of the unknown due to the lack of knowledge and experience but I'm willing to the risk and deal with all the BS that comes with it. If there is anybody out there like me I would love to connect and learn from those more knowledgeable. I live in NH, and if there is anyone around the NH area I would like to connect with you. I look forward to some feed back, comments and any other tips.

Hi Nitanga,

A great book is The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner.  He motivates me so much that I will be making an offer on my next property in May.  The Ultimate Beginners Guide is helpful as well and Bigger Pockets has so many other tools.
