Getting started in buy and holds/house hacking

[Account Closed]

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new to BiggerPockets and its forums, but I have grown an extreme interest in real estate investing. I want to get into the buy & hold and house hacking area of real estate within the Northwest Indiana region. I recently got engaged and will need to be finding a place to live by next October 2020, but I wanted it to be a potential investment property for us as well. I'm reaching out to see if anybody can help me get the ball rolling on this. I am currently working on my real estate license, reading books and beginner guides on BiggerPockets, along with working as a credit analyst at a bank in the commercial loan department. Any and all advice is appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi Alec, I would recommend going to the invest nwi Meetup in your area. It is run by knowledgeable people and many investors in the area attend it who can easily explain what areas in the region are good for house hacking and investing.
