Hi Everyone,

Looking to get more involved in my community here and I know this is the best place to start.  I look forward to learning from everyone!

I will be turning 30 soon and this summer I hope to have a duplex.  House hack, and then roll out of it into another unit as quickly as possible.

I'm not completely new to real estate, I work for CoStar, Loopnet (and now apartments.com) so I am familiar with much of the terminology.

My first deal I am also looking to rehab the duplex that I would be moving into, so I know it's going to take one more layer of analysis and a little more risk/reward, but I am confident with all the experience on here I will do great.  I have read through many of the starter forums and some duplex reads.  

I think one thing I will have to look at is financing with a HomeStyle loan, I am not sure if I want to do FHA because I hope to be on to the next project in less than a year.
