My First Rental Property

[John Akhlaghi]

This is John Akhlaghi and I am going into my second year of college for accounting in Jacksonville, Florida. I am 19 years old and I am trying to partner with the dad is in purchasing a 3 bed to bath condo for student housing. This is my first property and I am planning to house hack it as well. My goal is to live for free in the property for two years. I have been currently looking for a part job specifically in customer service as a server or babysitter. I also love to help out with any landscaping or work that needs to be done around the house. I have been on five meetings with Mrs. Kehr and Mr. Rozenberg and I have learned a plethora of information, but for me I currently I am looking to acquire more experience in real estate. I am also looking to connect with experienced investors here in Jacksonville, Florida. Thank you, John Akhlaghi.
