Newbie from the Bay Area ( House Hacking / BRRR)

[Brody Martinez]

BP Whats going on!

My name is Brody Martinez, and I’m 23 years old. I’m new to BP and the real estate investing world all together. I’ve been listening to a bunch of BP podcasts and reading, which has got me super pumped!

I am from the Bay Area, and I am very interested in House hacking to be my first venture into real estate investing. I've been saving up my money for a down payment, but am still probably 6-8 months out from being a serious investor. My goal is to start with house hacking and then move to multi family or single family investments through BRRR to grow my portfolio at a quicker rate.

A lot of action items that I have heard from podcasts relate more to when you are closer to being serious about making offers on properties, so I wanted to make this post to try to start building some connections to more like minded people. Any early action items or advice for newbies like me would be appreciated! Hope all is well with your guys’ family and friends!

Thanks!

Househacking can be done anywhere. I've house hacked with a house, a SFR and a duplex. If you want more complete househacking independence then you would obviously look at a SFR with an In Law Unit, or a Duplex, Triplex, Fourplex. There are more of those in Oakland than the rest of Alameda County combined.
