New House Hacker in the DC Metro Area

[Jordan Carnes]

Hey everyone! My name is Jordan and i'm a 27 year old single guy working as a federal contractor in the DMV. I started investing about 5 years ago and really started getting serious in the last 2 years. Now that I feel like I have a pretty decent foundation for my retirement portfolio, i'm ready to start exploring other avenues to invest my money. Real estate investing has always been a mystery growing up, so i'm excited to take on the challenge.

My initial plan is to make my first investment a house hack since i don't have any family obligations. I'm wanting to find a single family home to live in and have 2 or 3 roommates. I've lived in DC a little over a year and it seems like most younger people are either renting apartments or have roommates.

I'm looking forward to learning more from all the veteran real estate investors out there!
