Start by joining local real estate groups, narrowing your approach to strategies like house hacking or multi-family investing, and building a team of professionals like agents and lenders.

Of the many strategies I've looked into, House-hacking and short-term rentals piqued my interests. 

We built a new house 3100sqft, 4 Bed, 2 ½ bath for $310,000.

This.Also, if you were the tier 1 worker bee at a relocation company who wants to get a family housed, happy and as quickly as possible, would you accept the word of a guy who sells a course to new-to-MTR investors that "here is Eli; please send him all of your business.

I'm waiting because I still haven't owned my house for 6 months.

The investor if they slip and the lender if they need to take the house back.  

Nice way to house hack!

I don't know a single person who regrets starting out with a quad and house hacking.
