Hey all, new member here. Been listening to the podcast for quite a few months.

I am 24, a mechanical engineer in Orlando, FL, of course looking to getting into real estate investing.

I plan to begin my journey by house hacking since I live in an urban city and with tons of students.

I’d also split my portion of my room cost with my girlfriend, so I’d love to be living for next to nothing.

I've recently signed up for the local REI association meeting and want connect with local investors.

I’ve also already read Brandon Turners book on real estate investing, Rich Dad - Poor Dad, etc.

I think I’m ready to begin looking for funding and a real estate agent familiar with Orlando investment properties.

I guess currently I’m looking to be directed at anything that can help with loans and agents. Since I’ve read the books (and still always wanting to learn), I’m at that stage of taking action.

I’m only worried about obtaining a loan based on being out of college for a year and with two different jobs already (switched from construction to DoD)

Any helpful comments appreciated !

@Zach Whicker depends on your goals. If your looking for appreciation then the 3/2. if your looking for cash flow then small multi but the inventory for small multi is so small and prices are inflated.
