Hello, new investor from Louisville, KY
Hello BP!
I am 27 from Louisville, Ky. I am currently renting and looking for my first multi-family property to "house hack". I have been an avid listener of the podcast, and am now just getting into the forums. I have been analyzing deals using the BP rental property calculator for a few weeks now, and I have been building my network locally. I want to surround myself with as many real estate savvy people locally and across the country as I possibly can. I am looking to close my first deal in the next 4-6 months. I have my sight set on a duplex/triplex. I am working full time, and I will be starting my MBA beginning of 2018. I have begun speaking to real estate agents and wholesalers, and have visited a few properties so far. I understand I have only scratched the surface, and I welcome any and all advice.
I'm really looking forward to connecting with everyone on BP and achieving financial freedom through real estate!
-Eric

Hi Eric,
just wanted to reach out and say Hi. What area of Louisville are you in? I have just found this forum as well, and also looking to purchase my first REI in the next 4-6 months. There are a couple of groups I have found locally, although I have not yet had a chance to attend one of their meetings.
