New member currently under contract for first multi-family
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I live central New Jersey and am under contract for my first duplex. I have been interested in real estate for a few years now and decided to finally pull the trigger. My plan is to live in the duplex for the first year as required by my loan and then rent out.
My long-term goal is to build up my own real estate empire to leave my job and spend time doing things I truly love. But for now I am continuing along with my normal W2, saving as much as possible, and learning every chance I get.
I am looking to meet like-minded individuals and hopefully some mentors along the way.
Steven

Hey Steven, congrats on your first!
House hacking is a great way to jump into the game. Curious if you have thought about what type of property you will tackle next?
Would love to connect and chat with you!
