Hello, I'm Garshét! I reside in Maryland, I am a recent college graduate, and I am very new to REI. My degree is Business Administration with a track in Entrepreneurship. I have always heard about REI being a solid way to make money, but have never taken the time to get into it or do my own research. Fortunately, I have a great support system in my parents; they are invested in helping our family gain knowledge and wealth to "escape the rat race". My dad bought us the House Hacking book and I am currently on Chapter 3. I look forward to learning about all the different ways to achieve financial freedom and networking with experts. Thank you.

Welcome! I think house hacking is a great way to get started. I’ve done it several times and it has worked in multiple locations.

Looks like you’re in Baltimore? Id recommend coming out to some of the upcoming meetups in the central MD area to meet other local investors. Theres also an active local Facebook group called Maryland Investors Network which is a great resource for finding your real estate “team”/local vendors.
