That journey started in 2016 when I bought a duplex to house hack.

I only have 1 property under my belt and am currently house hacking my SFH.

Now, are you planning to house-hack and live in one unit, or going full rental?

I first started out in Real Estate by house hacking in college. 

The strategy I'm following for my first house hack is to acquire a multifamily property (duplex, triplex, quadplex) or SFH w/ an ADU (or potential for an ADU) as I am mainly looking to simultaneously acquire my first property and subsidize my mortgage payment.

Use the two years to learn the area and I would suggest as soon as you can, find a duplex and start a house hack. 

A couple tips--Always best to house hack small multis when you are moving around from base to base. 

Hi @Brendan Jones I moved to Nashville in late 2021 to begin my homeownership and investing career, buying a primary residence, house-hacking it, and transitioning to a long-term rental once I bought my next property (also in Nashville) so would be happy to share my experiences.There is a lot of interest in STRs in the Nashville Metro area, but the zoning has become increasingly strict over the years.

Are you looking to house hack?

Another option is moving out of your place and doing a house hack.
