@Dave Corfman Very cool to find a meetup around these parts! I get done with work at 7, but hope to see you there shortly after.

Hey @John Franczyk,

I believe you're right about Epic playing a big part in housing costs. I'm currently priced out of anything near the west side of Madison. As current prices lay, I'll be happy to find a great starter property within 30 minutes of the capitol in any direction! I've looked as far as Janesville and Beaver Dam, increasing commute for a more reasonable price.

I have a bit of time, as my down payment is not yet fully matured. I'll be keeping an eye on local prices, trying to find a good time to step in!

Thanks @Eric M.! 

I'll definitely add this book to my growing list. "House hacking" is possibly the coolest real estate term I've heard of so far. You can bet I'll be checking it out.

He everyone, my name is Nicholas Hanson. I'm 25 year old, was born and raised, work and play, around the Madison area and love it here.

I came across the Bigger Pockets podcast about two weeks ago, and started from number 1. I'm currently on show number 20 and find the interviews to be a great way to get familiar with the terms and scenarios of the real estate life.

I'm a mechanic by trade, and completely new to real estate. I'm looking to find ways of income that do not involve me having to have my hands on it to make money.

I do not know my own market. I do not own any property, but am currently saving for a down payment on what will be my first primary residence.

I look forward to connecting with many of you, and very excited to be a part of Bigger Pockets!
