Hi All,

I am currently working on finding my first small multi-family property, the plan being to combine the house hack and BRRRR strategies. Something I've been going back and forth on is whether to get a property manager to take care of the other rental unit(s), or manage the property myself. My initial gut feeling says self manage as a way to get hands on experience, but I will still have a full time job until I can expand my RE portfolio further.

Looking for any advice, lessons learned, and opinions on the topic from people on both sides of the coin.  

Hi guys,

I'm all about continually learning and reading new things; I'm curious for those of you who BRRRR & Flip homes if there are any books on design and layout that you would recommend, or if the design portion of the process was taught through trial and error.

Any feedback is good feedback, let me know!

Hi All,

I'm new to the Bigger Pockets website and forums but no stranger to the litany of Bigger Pockets publishing and podcasts, in-fact it's become a passion of mine over the last half year or so.

I'm currently employed as a project manager with one of the nations largest general contractors, have been for 5 years, and it's treated me well both educationally and financially. However, I've been looking more and more into transitioning to a real estate based career, I believe I not only have a good skill set for it but it's something that gets me excited any time I think about it. The ultimate goal is unlike any other aspiring real estate investor, and that's to have financial freedom, be your own boss, and leave something of meaning to your family.

I'm curious if there's anybody out there who's transitioned from construction over to real estate and what type of position they transitioned to i.e. project management for a developer, real estate agent, etc.

Thanks in advance for all your input and I cant wait to make some connections!
