Now its time to make a plan to accomplish your goals and take on step at a time to achieve them.

There is so much to learn and I'm not sure how it's all going to happen, but I know I will achieve it and I look forward to learning from all of you. 

Team up with the tenant to achieve your mutual goal which is to have a successful relationship including between the tenants and the relationship you have with them.

Having a clear, concise message about what you're looking to accomplish will help you achieve that goal.

This will help us achieve our goals faster in the we can build both long term security and wealth and do more short term transactional work to help me transition from my day job down the road and become a developer.

But, most importantly, I want my children to be proud of what their Dad does for a living and see me as a success so that they know that their dreams are achievable as well.

I am looking for people to either share there knowledge with me or point me in a direction were i can achieve this knowledge.

Howdy @Lucas HallenbeckWhat you are going to find is it is difficult to achieve positive Cash Flow while using the House Hack strategy.  

How do you best utilize all the resources (networking, podcasts, resources) that BP has to offer on this site to increase your net work while decreasing the time it takes you to achieve your goals?

@Matthew Charron I do hope someone takes you up on your offer.In case no one does though, I'd recommend you attend a local real estate investor group like Black Diamond REI in southern Mass. or RI Real Estate Investors Group in RI.You'd want to engage several people in conversation, particularly during the times at the beginning and end of the meetings when folks typically network, and maybe ask a few folks out to coffee.Many people look for "mentors", and that might work for you, but another approach to consider would be just to try making friends with people who are one or two steps ahead.So maybe they're not successful full-time investors (the Holy Grail of Mentor-seeking), but instead own one or two rental properties, or have done one or two successful flips, or really anything in one of the directions you want to go.I find that can be easier to achieve, and you can get a lot out of it because such folks are very familiar with the challenges you face - after all, it wasn't long ago they were at that same point themselves.
