Hello all, I am about half way through The Book on Rental Property Investing. As of right now I am just getting started and am welcoming any and all information that might be helpful. The one clear goal I have is to buy a property in September 2025, so that gives me about a year and a half to prepare. I am thinking that house hacking is the best fit for me, since I am currently renting with my girlfriend. I have done some conservative calculations based on my current cashflow and I can be confident that I will have at least $46,000 by that September 2025 milestone. My girlfriend will have between $20-30k. We are open to moving to any location within the United States. I'd love for y'all to soak this sponge! Book recommendations, financing recommendations, location spotlights and more are all welcome. Thank you!
