Welcome Marque!

I commend you for jumping into your goal of becoming a real estate agent. BP is a wonderful resource for connecting with agents in GR.. I'd suggest the meetups and connecting with real estate agents and ultimately finding a mentor(s) to help guide you along the way to becoming a successful real estate agent!

Hi Jake!

Welcome to BP :)

House hacking a multi-family is a GREAT way to step into real estate investing. What are the details on your property? How's it going thus far?

Cheers!

Mark

Thanks Ayodeji Kuponiyi.. Great advice! There is so much to learn and continue learning.

Emma-

Yes, please!

Welcome Dave!

"OPM!" I don't have experience purchasing multi-units with low or no money down but have heard many (creative) ways to put little or none of your own money down many of which Brandon touches on in his book.

Hi Courtney,

My investing goals include 2 units and above including rehab, buy and hold while potentially househacking. I'm also interested in joining forces with other investors in larger multi-family units in Greater Grand Rapids. Would love to grab coffee and hear your road to real estate investing and some of your goals!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Excited to share my experience, learn and connect with other investors in Greater Grand Rapids, MI.

Hi BP Community!

My name is Mark Bouman and I'm a new real estate investor in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  I have spent 4 years managing real estate in Greater Grand Rapids; 2 years in residential and 2 in commercial.  After taking a couple year hiatus in Colorado and Bolivia I'm back in Grand Rapids and currently house hacking a single family and own a 2-unit near downtown GR.  I've definitely had some growing pains so far but I'm excited to continue learning from and connecting with investors, managers, vendors, and real estate enthusiasts.  Excited to be a part of the BP Community!

The financing would be for a buy and hold small multi-unit house hack..
