Hello real estate people! My husband and I are in the "education" stage of investing. I'm reading like crazy--books, blogs, articles. I'm starting to watch podcasts and am planning to sign up for a webinar soon. This network is amazing! All of the information can be overwelming, and that's what makes this endeavor feel a little scary. But I'm pushing on, telling myself not to give up. I have yet to read anywhere that investing in real estate is easy. 

Last month I told my husband about the concept of house hacking and he was instantly onboard! So that's our plan for now...convert our current home into a single family rental property and move into an owner-occupied duplex for awhile. Our goal for this shift is "in about a year". This may feel like the longest (or shortest) year ever. I'm anxious! :-)
