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!
