Starting from the ground up. Plan on house hacking

[Justin D. Myers]

My name is Justin Myers and I'm from Albany, NY.  I'm new to investing and I have no experience with real estate up to this point.  I started a wellness company five years ago where I do personal training and massage therapy.  I also work a full time job as a massage therapist.  Although I love my profession I don't want to work 70 hours a week for the rest of my life.  

My plan is to start with house hacking.  My idea right now is the use rental property as a long term investment and another stream of income that will allow me to work less hours at my other jobs.
