Best way to get started in buy & holds and house hacking
Hello everyone,
I'm fairly new to BiggerPockets and its forums, but I have grown an extreme interest in real estate investing. I want to get into the buy & hold and house hacking area of real estate within the Northwest Indiana region. I recently got engaged and will need to be finding a place to live by next October 2020, but I wanted it to be a potential investment property for us as well (maybe buying a duplex and renting one side or purchasing REO, etc.). I'm reaching out to see if anybody can help me get the ball rolling on this. I am currently working on my real estate license, reading books and beginner guides on BiggerPockets, along with working as a credit analyst at a bank in the commercial loan department. I really want to achieve financial cial freedom from real estate by developing passive income. With that said, any and all advice is appreciated!
Thank you!
