@Derek FarmerDerek - My friend Dave Short has a Dinner with Dave meeting about once a month here in Indy.

God speed friend!

Once you graduate and have a steady income, consider house hacking as a beginner-friendly strategy—buying a small multifamily property, living in one unit, and renting out the others to offset your mortgage.

I have a friend here who has about 140 houses right now, who I was discussing return on equity with.

I’m determined to make this work not just for myself but for my family and friends.

@Denise Lang Starting your real estate investing journey out of state can be strategic given California's high costs and tenant-friendly laws.

I had a friend purchase a Vacation home financed with RBC last year. 

I went through this whole process recently of researching for Real Estate CPA and finally went with referral from friend that also invests in real estate. 

If they were separately metered, each tenant would pay the $116.50 base fees and their individual use, which would be 3x higher than what they pay when sharing a meter.There are many options, but don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.

I will be investing more in Wichita-I love that town & made some life long friends there.
