Hey, my name is Erin. 
I'm 37 years old and brand new to real estate investing.

My goal is cash-flow from a multi-family via house hacking for my first property.
My goal is to do my first deal on a 4-plez by March 6th, 2025.

I live in Tampa, FL which seems to be a good market to start for my goals.

Thank you for having me here!!

    Welcome to the community, Erin! It’s always exciting to see new investors diving into the Tampa market, especially with such clear goals like yours. I’ve been in the real estate investing game for over 20 years, primarily focusing on the Tampa Bay area. I’ve seen firsthand how house hacking can be a powerful strategy for building cash flow and wealth, especially in multi-family properties like the 4-plex you’re targeting. If you have any questions or want to discuss strategies, I’m happy to share insights from my experience to help you get started. Looking forward to seeing your success!

     Let me know if you need help in how to find properties off-market in that area.  Prices in Florida are pretty high now, so, you might have to do some digging if you want good cashflow, depending on your strategy.

     Hey Rene!!
    I'm reading "The small and Mighty Real Estate Investor" now, connecting here on BP, and thinking through where exactly I'd like to start my journey! 

    I want to move out of Florida, and wondering if outer cities near Nashville would fit my goals.
