Just starting out

Shana Taylor

Hi. My Name is Shana and I just joined BP. Happy to be here! I have always been interested in real estate investing but have never known how to get my foot in. I just turned 28 and I right now, I am ready to learn more about how to get started and take necessary actions that would lead to me hopefully making my first deal. I live in McDonough, GA 30-40 minutes south of Atlanta. I have never owned a home myself let alone invested in one. The idea of house hacking with a multifamily unit interests me but only if it makes sense in the market I live in. Does anyone have any advice on where I should start?

@Shana Taylor, you should 100% consider/explore house hacking before investing out of state. If you haven't already, read "The House Hacking Strategy" by Craig Curelop. Aside from the traditional example of acquiring a 2-4 unit property, there are other creative methods of house hacking. Connect with an investor-focused real estate agent who is well-versed and knows your market. I'm happy to chat!
