Newbie from Kansas City

[Marissa Carroll]

Hello everyone! I'm Marissa and I'm from the Kansas City area. I'm interested in house hacking a duplex to four-plex, and am a total beginner. My plan is to buy a few of these and hopefully an apartment building down the road. My "why" is to travel the world and spend more time with friends and family. I will be buying sometime this year before October. (Lease is up/ 30th birthday!) That's a good enough reason I think. :)

I'm a commercial architect by trade, specializing in school architecture. I'm not familiar with residential construction (that's my caveat), but I will try to be of service if anyone needs some advice.

So that's basically the sitch! i can't wait to meet all of you on this awesome forum!
