Ready to Invest - Looking for a Mentor & Guidance!

[Natali Cobb]

Hello everyone!

Although I am new to real estate investing, I'm a long time listener and follower of BiggerPockets. I recently graduated from college with degrees in Business and Interior Design, and am ready to jump into my first deal. Ideally, I'd like to house hack, but am open to other strategies. I am finding it hard to find the "right" deal and take the leap. Currently renting, want to get "out of the rat race" (thank you RDPD) as quick as I can! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, would also love to connect with a mentor. Thanks in advance!

house hacking is definitely THE way to get started.  how many properties have you looked at?  how large is the geographic area in which you are searching?

i'd encourage you to be patient - it's fine to rent in the short term while you wait for the right property.  it may take some time.  that's OK.

you can also find local REIA meetings and attend them and start networking with other investors.
