REI Newbie Accepting DC Job Offer & Looking to House Hack
Hey everybody!
I'm moving to the DC later this month for a RE-related job with the city, and looking to get my bearings so that I can purchase my first house hack by August.
Briefly "About me": I've finally ended months of trying to get a job in commercial RE, but started down this road to ultimately become a real estate investor. Got my MBA from a top-30 program in 2018 and joined a software startup that shuttered in 2019 (you likely won't guess why...). Now I'm ready to balance the time I spend with my head in books and excel with getting my hands dirty and directly making things happen. Also recently went alcohol-free, so have an abundance of time and energy to spend building value and wealth through RE!
Looking forward to connecting, collaborating, and learning with you all. Get in touch and let's grab coffee!
All the best,
Terry
