In midtown I think this is speculation based on news of the now funded rapid transit busline and development of small commercial nodes along its route.

They always say share what you're doing so here it goes.I definitely am a huge fan of house hacking, however since I won't be able to have a place of my own for at least a year and a half from now due to training, and I wanted to get started investing, I bought my first duplex rental in Grand Rapids, Michigan, it's second largest city.

I have some liquid funds that I would like to use for doing my first rehab in Grand Rapids,MI.

My husband Duncan and I are looking to get started in REI in the Grand Rapids, MI area because he grew up there and because the market is much more affordable than Chicago.

I have never found something that I have wanted to truly and desperately pursue until now and have been absolutely addicted to soaking in as much information as I can.I've been knocking out blogs and forum threads whenever I even have a little bit of extra time and have gone as far as sneaking wireless earbuds under my beanie so that I can listen to 3-4 podcast during my work hours.I've been slowly looking at my local market and analyzing a few deals and always fantasizing about ways of how I could make it work to possibly acquire them at that current moment, but there are some obstacles I need to push through first.I have a balance of a couple grand on some credit cards(no missed payments) that I've been rapidly trying to tackle as this is my first step into opening more possible options of an early purchase even if I may not have a downpayment stocked up.Before, my initial plan was to keep on learning and educating myself with as much information that I could while saving up enough cash in order for me to be ready to house hack a property by the beginning of next year, but as I've started to learn more and more, I can't help but want to get into the process as soon as I can.I'm only 20 so technically I do have a lot of time to prepare, but I still feel as though I'm behind just because of how fast real estate investing is growing and in a time where markets are already hot.Maybe it's just reassurance that I need to hear that "I will be okay" even if I were to join the game a year later.
