Newbie in Grand Rapids Michigan looking for any and all advice.

My name is xavier, and I’m looking to house hack but open to all avenues of real estate, just looking to be pointed in the right direction, and guidance. I have a good amount saved up and good credit.

@Xavier Martin, so glad that you and others are looking at these opportunities when you are younger. I wish I had but am happy that late is better than never. I agree with @Tereal Wilsonn’s book suggestions and would strongly, strongly recommend Chad Carson’s book Retire Early with Real Estate which pairs well with the other two. My other recommendations would be listen to episode 276 with Bryce Stewart https://www.biggerpockets.com/... as well as episode 48 with Daren Sager https://www.biggerpockets.com/...for some perspective and planning. Plan for the long term and take real estate where you want it to take you (great wealth, a nest egg, financial freedom or something else) and know there are a ton of people who want to see you succeed. Good luck.
