Hi, my name is Miguel. I am 23 y/0 and married and to my wonderful wife Autumn. I am currently deployed. We are looking to create passive income. Our goal is it to be financially independent with the goal of being wealthy. I am in search currently for a duplex in the Hampton VA area. We would like to do a house hack (living in one unit and renting out the other).
@Miguel Devaughn, first off, good for you and your wife for starting young. I don't have resources in that area, but some general advice would be to soak up knowledge like a sponge. Read, interact, and learn so that when you start investing, you're knowledgeable and confident. Another piece of general advice would be to start networking with people in Hampton. Find a realtor who you feel like is a good fit, not just the first one you see. See if you can form relationships with some good contractors. Find some loan officers that you could work with.
