Hey Diego! This is awesome. I wish Bigger Pockets was around when I was your age. I think house hacking with a FHA loan is a great strategy to get started with. Do you plan to use wholesaling as your way to save for your down payment on the triplex? Also do you plan to self-manage the triplex or hire property management? Kudos to you again and I wish you all the best in your real estate journey!
