I’ve only been working for a year now but once I discovered house hacking, I knew it was the only way for me to achieve the freedom I desire.

That 4-unit I mentioned is in your hometown btw.

After visiting the STL area during the purchase of my turn-key 4-unit, I decided to use the information learned from the books to do a BRRRR project.

I decided to reach out because I don't know anyone who is a successful real estate investor (achieved financial freedom) and I wanted to talk about college/career paths and all the pressure to go and if it would be smarter to go etc.

Unit is only 2bd/2bth 1026 sqft.

The unit I purchases for a vacation rental is classified as a residential property with a 0.45% tax rate versus a resort with a 1.39% tax rate.  

If you get a multifamily, they should usually increase the amount of house you can buy based on the rent from the other unit. Ie

They would also advise on other products I can utilize to help me achieve my financial/larger lifetime goals (such as insurance policies, annuities, products that offer guaranteed lifetime income, etc.)

@Connor Nellans Wow, what kind of Capitalization Rate is possible to achieve in SoCal on multifamily?

@Dave Polykoff a 3 unit is usually still appraised using comparables.
