I realize now that what I have been doing in my life financially is all wrong and NOW more than ever I NEED to build a investment portfolio for our future. 

I moved here a couple of years ago and have been studying the market ever since I moved, but this past year (especially the past few months) I've been really researching real estate investing and I'm ready to get started!

Thanks for the support Brock, shoot me a message if you’re ever back in town.

In order to make deals like this work I did some homework and I think I will rent rooms on these larger houses.   

I have been enamored with the idea of house hacking for my first home purchase ever since I began the eye-opening process of learning the potential real estate can provide. 

Buying something is going to teach more in a month than all books or podcasts you ever heard .

Have you ever heard the saying "oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive"? 

She also has taken a lot more interest in real estate, though I don't think she will ever be as passionate about it as me. 

With that information, I needed more information on if they had ever had a lease, how long they had been there, if having been there a certain length of time gave them rights I didn't know about, the eviction process, etc.She didn't have any of that knowledge, nor a PM recommendation which may have been able to give me more insight.
