Hey Jordan, I'd say house-hacking is one of the best ways to get into real estate investing.

But I do have some agent's who do, but again everyone has their niche so it's a match making thing.  

Ok so a diff path then my previous post.I also wanted to invest in real estate but just assume( and bet is probably true) that most of the people that find truly good investments have  either or all of the following the most "average joes" don't:1.

In the real world, its hard if not impossible to get all 4 aspects on a single deal.

I’m planning a trip to Birmingham in the next week or so to meet with agents, build my network, and hopefully find my first deal.If anyone has experience investing in Birmingham or has recommendations for agents, contractors, or lenders, I’d love to connect!

I share tons of free tips on my instagram @ericaoohdesigns and you can also check out my Bigger Pockets podcast episode (933: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-933) where I share my exact "Designing for Dollars" formula.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I also have family ties in the real-estate industry; my uncle was the project manager for a county in GA, and another family member is the CEO of an architecture firm. 

This is a real estate forum, not an equities market forum.

Worked with an agent via a referral and landed this centrally located home that comes with a 1BR/1BA casita in the back.
