New to BiggerPockets. Looking to invest/house hack a multifamily.
Hi All!
I'm Jenine & I am new to BiggerPockets and real estate investing. I've always had a goal to get into real estate investment, but I'm really taking it seriously now. I've read plenty of finance books in the past, so getting my finances in order to make it happen. Hoping to invest in my first multifamily home within the next 2-3 years, live in it and rent out the other unit. OC/LB/LA seems like a tough market financially? I am not opposed to the IE, since I am kind of familiar, went to college at UCR. Looking for any advice on how others have gotten started in this market and hoping to network with any locals/newbies in real estate investing. Thanks!

I appreciate your ambition to buy a multifamily property to house hack, but if you buy a SFH and house hack the rooms you might be able to get started sooner, then you could make the jump to multifamily in a couple years. Just a thought, every time I look back I wish I would have bought sooner.
