House hack free time
Hello Bp!
I purchased my first house hack “HH” (duplex) in Columbus, OH almost 2 months ago. Things have gone extremely well thus far minus a few very minor issues that were great learning opportunities. My investing strategy is to purchase a 4 - plex (HH) next year and then maybe another HH after that as my goal is financial freedom in 3 years and I believe that should get me there (cover all expenses, not necessarily quit my job freedom yet) then start moving into buying smaller multi family properties (thinking 16 - 30 units) once I gain basic principles and experience.
My question is, what can I do in the meantime while patiently waiting for the next HH to learn more about REI and maybe making some additional $$$. I've been learning about Property management and improving analysis skills, but I've been lucky as my tenant has been very low maintenance! Any and all comments are appreciated!
Thank you!
