Hello BiggerPockets!

I recently moved to Scottsdale, AZ from Toledo, OH and am looking to get started in real estate investing by house hacking. I currently rent, but plan on purchasing a duplex or triplex next year.

A little about me - I was an auditor for a CPA firm for almost three years, which consisted of working many late nights and weekends, until I suffered through an unexpected health issue and realized I didn't want to work my life away. In March, I accepted a job offer as a Senior Analyst and Accountant in Phoenix, AZ, where I now work a normal 8-5 and can concentrate on studying real estate investing in my spare time.

My long-term goal with real estate investing is to acquire buy and hold rentals that generate enough monthly income for me to be financially free. My short-term goal for this year is to pay off my car in the next 4 months, continue to read and listen to anything real estate investing related and get involved in my local REIA.

I'm looking forward to connecting with the BP Community, and would love to meet any who are in the Phoenix area!
