Greenhorn from Ann Arbor, Michigan

[Leland M Campbell]

Hello,

My name is Leland Campbell, I'm what you would call a newbie. I'm looking into getting into real estate, I've been trying to read, listen, and watch to learn, much of which has been Bigger Pockets podcasts and videos. What particularly interests/stands out to me is house hacking/rentals. But I'm looking to learn all about real estate investing and all of the steps.

As mention in the title, I'm from Ann Arbor, but to be more accurate, I'm a little north of Ann Arbor, but Ann Arbor is the big city near me. Would love to talk to other people near this area, or just in general southern Michigan! I just turned 24 not too long ago,  and I currently work two jobs which has me working around 50 hours a week.

I'd say my financial goal is to be financially independent through real estate investing! That's a big reason why house hacking interests me to much, I'd love to get myself into a situation of owning a place and living for free through other(s) renting there as well! But I also see no reason for financial independence to the last goal, I certainly wouldn't want to stop there! I'd love to continue to grow my wealth more and more to earn myself a better living!

Not sure what else to include, so why not throw in some little random things about me? I'm an animal lover, not a dog person, not a cat person, love them all, not just pets either. Squirrels, birds, rabbits, so on and so on, just love animals a bunch. I love games, of pretty much any form, I find them very fun!

Feel free to message me if you wish (if that's possible on Bigger Pockets, I'm new, but I assume so) or also would enjoy talking to you here on this forum.

Hi!

Welcome Leland! A house hack is absolutely the way to go, especially in greater Ann Arbor area, you'd have no serious problem finding renters either within your own circle to start, or from the community at large.

We lived in the A2 area for about 15yrs before moving south. BE GREAT!
