So glad you've already plugged into the Bigger Pockets podcast - that was a huge source of education for me when I first started. 

I'm in my education phase right now and I've determined that I want to start out with an FHA house hack (hopefully a 4 plex).

I do have other properties but they are leveraged to some degree. 

That would be a good place to start since it seems you'll be using leverage on the rental property.

To everyone at Bigger Pockets, this deal and the many more to come are 100% due to the amazing job you do providing people like myself with the education, tools and confidence needed to successfully navigate the RE investment space.

I am looking to buy my first property and thought this would be the best way to catapult me into real estate investing.Home is worth 780K and I would 380K.The thought was to get liquid and leverage the money to purchase a duplex/triplex and have some leftover for maintenance and unknowns.I was told selling my home to my corporation might be the best way to get all my monies in my home for that first step in real estate investing.Looking for comments and suggestions or anyone else in the same situation and how you moved forward. 

Doing this will allow you to leverage your remaining funds as a backup in case surprises occur.  

Leverage your money :)  PM me for details.

My contribution to the thread was a post that indicated that there are under educated RE investors in virtually every market making what appear to be questionable purchases.There are threads like Stupid things perspective tenants say.
