New to the platform

[Shaydon Childers]

Hello everyone! I found bigger pockets on You Tube about 9 months ago and finally made the move to make a profile here on the website. I am a new investor and just completed my first house hack so I have (1) rental and my primary residence. My wife is a licensed agent here in Washington and we have 2 young children. I joined this platform to network and seek advice when needed. I have a couple good friends in the area who are contractors/investors as well. I manage an asphalt maintenance company during the day but would like to build a rental portfolio and eventually get into flipping full time. I really enjoy the podcasts and I hope to gain more knowledge from experienced investors here on this platform.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

Here are some excellent practices to remember if you decide to employ the home hacking method again:
1. Exit strategy; 2. location research; and 3. financial assessment
4. Tax Repercussions

Keep in mind that every real estate market is different, so you need to adjust your strategy to the particular circumstances of the region you are investing in. To make sure your investment is in line with your overall financial objectives, you should also consider speaking with a financial counsellor and getting guidance from seasoned real estate specialists.

Good luck!
