I currently live in a SFH in New Mexico that I house-hack and after relocating this spring/summer, I would continue to rent it out for 2-3 years then potentially 1031 exchange into another property.I discovered BP after learning about the FI movement which totally changed my life.

I have just recently discovered the Bigger Pockets community and it has gave me a whole new outlook on real estate.

What has lead me to discover that I like to get things done is that I am currently living in France as a professional basketball player.
