 Hey Ray,

thanks for your input! I also believe after reading into it that a house hack is a great way to get started. While I currently live in Coconut Grove I am not opposed to move further to the north of there is a deal to have. 

I'll keep you in mind once I got all my criteria straight.

For now I am looking in the broader Miami area, since I would preferably house hack a duplex and need to be somewhat close to my main work.

As for questions I think the biggest unknown right now for me mostly revolves around the timeline and order of steps. I am won't buy anything this year but rather next year so I am wondering if it makes sense to approach an agent or a lender months in advance, weeks in advance or only when I really already saw something I want to buy.

I don't want to waste anybody's time and I am not yet sure what the best course is.

Hey there,

my name is Sven and I am originally from Germany. I moved to the USA 3 years ago. I got interested in real estate investing last year and since then have read several of the BP published books on real estate.

I still have a lot of unanswered questions floating in my head but my goal is to buy my first property and some point next year.
