Hello everyone,
Excited to be a part of Bigger Pockets. Been listening to the podcasts frequently over the past few months and excited and intrigued to enter this community.
I come from a family of real estate investors. Commercial, Industrial and residential. Always been very excited about real estate, but thought of it as something to do on the side. Now, I'm thinking of how I can make it my full-time job.
I purchased (with the help of my parents) my first property when I was 19, now 25. It was a 250k short sale. This property is now rented and covers all payments/taxes.
Curious about refinancing and taking cash with rates as low as they are. I also do not have a steady job or taxable income. I work for myself and to pay taxes for me now isn't exactly advantageous.
Look forward to hearing for you all,
Nick Stridsberg
