Hello from Portland Maine!

[Hunter Thompson]

Hello everyone, my name is Hunter. I'm quite new to the idea of real estate investing, but want to learn as much as possible. I'm interested in the idea of house hacking, and purchasing multi and single family homes (hopefully working my way up to grander acquisitions) . Not sure if anyone else is in the area, but if you are and frequent the forums I'd love to talk with you. This area (south portland) feels like an expensive place to get started. Any tips, trick, or advice is welcome.
