Hello, my name is Derek and I am hoping to learn more about real estate investing and hopefully get into the game someday.

I’m particularly interested in house hacking as my first strategy.I’d love to understand more about what to look for in strong investment markets, practical tips for house hacking, and the financing options available for first-time buyers.

This gives me some additional perspective on reasonable price range.
