Newbie from Metro Detroit interested in house hacking.

[Ashley Noble]

Hi Everyone! My name is Ashley and I am a new member to Bigger Pockets! The last few years I have been saving up my money to buy my first duplex to rent out and live in. I am just so excited to get started, I can’t wait any longer! My real estate experience started 5 years ago when I became a loan officer. I then dabbled at a title company. Now currently I have been working as an underwriter. I want to be on the other side of the transaction now! 

I currently live outside of Detroit. There aren’t too many multi-family homes for sale in the Metro Detroit area. I am planning to wait until spring/summer to buy, hoping there will be more out there. 

My one question to everyone right now: if you could pick 1 book for a beginner to read first, which would it be!!

Thank you everyone!
