Where do I even begin

[Dakota Shuck]

Recently I have really wanted to get into a real estate and a buddy of mine told me to start listening to the Bigger Podcast podcast. After listening to 5 shows, I am hooked on beginning my journey. A little background, I am 21. Recently completed my degree in accounting and work for a mid size firm in Nashville TN. Currently working towards my CPA along with a MBA. I just recently started a real job so my disposal income is maybe $1,000 a month. No student debt or any debt for that matter. My fiancé is currently building a house in our hometown but my name is not on anything as it is a gift from her father. There is a small growing area of Clarksville which is about 45 minutes north west of nashville and is prime for growth. I understand now is not the best time as the market is highly coveted at the moment. What steps should I take? I’m not afraid of financing, but I am afraid to just hop into something without a good basis of understanding. I’m interested in all aspects, but I’m not really convinced that I want to become an agent. Any suggestions on where to begin, what to read or research? Thanks.

@JD Martin love that advice! @Dakota Shuck I think house-hacking would absolutely be your best bet. You could also look into some low and no down payment options available. In addition to purchasing a place where you can live for close to free, you’ll also be capitalizing on the appreciation Nashville is seeing as it continues to grow. You’re absolutely on the right track, happy to grab coffee or a beer and talk through house hacking - pumped for you to start your house hacking journey!
