Newbie in Pittsburgh
Hi everyone!
My name is Christian and my wife and I are looking at purchasing our first home in the Pittsburgh area. We just moved here from the UK and are renting at the moment while we look for a home. We're after a multi-family unit to purchase so we can rent the other apartments.
By day, I'm an AI researcher but looking to build some additional cash flow through rentals. I found Bigger Pockets by searching for real estate podcasts and started listening to the shows. I had never heard of "house hacking" before, but it was mentioned in the first episode I listened to, and knowing that was already the strategy in my head, I figured I need to learn all I can about this approach!
I've already learned a lot in the past few days since finding this site and looking forward to going deeper into this area!
Cheers,
Christian
