What’s up, BP community? My name is Drew and I live in Indianapolis. I don’t know much about real estate, but I’ve just recently stumbled upon the BP podcast and have been trying to listen to/read as much BP content as possible in my free time. While on a road trip last week, I finished Brandon Turner’s The Book on Rental Property Investing, which was amazing, Ken McElroy’s ABCs of Real Estate Investing, and started Brandon Turner’s The Book on Investing in Real Estate With No (and low) Money Down.

I’m extremely interested in the concept of house hacking and the plan for using that savings to help buy future SFRs that Brandon explains in his book and that’s what I’m going to spend a good portion of my time on researching going forward. Looking forward to interacting with the community!

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
