New Member Looking to Learn now and Buy Next Year Brentwood, TN

[Matthew Cervoni]

Hello,

I am new to Brentwood and came here after passing the CPA exams to work for a local firm. I am learning as much as I can about real estate investing through the webinars and I am currently reading 'The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down.'

My goal is to buy a multi-family residence (duplex, triplex, or fourplex) and do a house hacking strategy in the next year. I will probably be using a FHA loan since I am low on cash after paying off graduate school (debt free!), but in the meantime I will be saving as much as I can for a downpayment and other costs/repairs that are necessary when I close.

Does anyone have any advice for a new investor looking to do a house hack in the Nashville/Antioch area? Also, I would like to network with anyone who is interested and learn from your experience. Thank you all for any advice/help.
