Hi All,

I'll just jump right in here...

I have around $5500 saved. I am looking to get started and looking to buy a duplex, triplex,  or quadraplex in DFW to house hack.

I have a what i feel is a decent grasp on doing the analysis via calculators etc. I will need to get more comfortable but i am confident in the resources at my disposal (Thanks BP!!).

I may be getting ahead of myself but i was hoping to get an idea of the legalities that are involved with renting. When i listen to the podcasts i hear "I worked with my attorney on this" and i have no idea where to get started with that or how much that costs.

Due to my job i cannot get a RE license as it would be considered a conflict of interest because i work for a builder and i was hoping to get opinions on that aspect as well.

I guess in general the more i listen the more i hear how much i dont know, heck i dont even know what i dont know lol. Are there any tips to get over the fear of the unkown??

Thanks everyone in advance!
