Ok so the short story is my wife and I bought a duplex we were currently renting when the owner sold and were introduced into the magical world of house hacking and how great it was.

Oh, and if we were going to stay in this home for many many more years I'd also be more concerned about adding to the mortgage - but the debt has to paid from somewhere at some point, these refi fees are really low, and we can still sell the house in a few years with still getting decent equity back (presuming the world doesn't bottom out), soooo those are the reasons it's all tempting. 

3 days is not the end of the world.

I’m new to the site and new to the world of investing in real estate Looking for a way to get to financial freedom and have been reading old posts on BP, listening to podcasts, and reading as many books as I can in order to get as much education as possible.

Focus on the expenses and the cash flow based on actual data (or as close as you can get) and let all the other benefits of REI be icing on the cake.Wholesaling is a world unto itself, but for buy and holds, I always recommend that investors (esp new ones) focus on B/B+ areas where folks like nurses and teachers and skilled laborers work, places regular folks want to raise families etc.

Now at point where seriously looking for deal.My current plan is to find low cost flip or small SFR rental to basically get that real world experience of process and show I can do it.

Hello BP world,I'm wondering if anyone is into storage locker investing here? 

No need to rush you're a senior in college have all the time in the world ahead of you!

This holds true in the world of investment properties.

I am brand new to the world of real-estate.
