New to Investing in Athens, GA

[Graham Bolinger]

Hi all, 

I'm old to the Athens area but new to investing in the Athens area and looking to make connections at the moment- maybe seek out a little advice! My wife and I purchased our first home in June with an FHA. Unfortunately, this was before I discovered BP and the world of house hacking, or it would probably have been how I started. I have worked a 1099 since I started college, so it seems traditional financing is out. Could anyone provide any advice for getting started with little capital? Right now, my plan is for us to stay in the current home through June, then start renting out the house once we've been here a year, but is there something I can be doing in the meantime? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
