Introduction to BiggerPockets community
Hello, my name is Christian Austin and I'm new to the BiggerPockets site. I live in the Boston area, and am looking to become a live-in landlord, making my first investment a multi-family property. This has turned out to be a more difficult processes than I originally thought it would be. Inventory is low, and houses go fast.
I found BiggerPocket when searching for podcasts on real estate investing. I've listened to several podcasts and have been reading many posts, including the ultimate beginner's guide. I'm really impressed by the wealth of information and knowledgeable people on this site.
