House hacking is often considered a good way to get your feet wet and it allows for unique financing terms (FHA loan, etc).

I am getting my feet wet in the world of real-estate investing.

Thank you Mark for replying Really appreciate your helpI'm just getting my feet wet and still doing my homework can you please elaborate on these 5 different types of markets

You avoid round 2 and 3 of capital expenses. 

We can help you find many inv properties in Leander, Cedar Park, N Austin, Pflugerville and Round Rock. 

I've been dragging my feet searching for places myself for about a year and a half, and am finally realizing that the next steps are to find a realtor and lender. 

And sometimes, you may need to send multiple rounds of mail to the same people before you get any responses.

LOTS of people get down payment gifts from family, and LOTS of lenders & borrowers prefer that gift funds go directly to escrow to keep the paperwork a little lighter (one less round of "source this deposit" and bank statements and transaction histories).

Congrats on being Pro Aaron, that'll sure to hold your feet and getting committed in investing.
