New Motivated Rookie Intro!

Matthew Russo
Posted

Hello Everyone!

My name is Matt, from New Jersey. I am a rookie real estate investor looking to purchase a small multi-family home to house hack with an FHA Loan! I just finished reading The House Hacking Strategy by Caraig Curelop. I learned so much valuable information and I am ready to get the ball rolling for my first house-hack. 

I am a 25 year old Marine Engineer in the US Merchant Marine and in the US Navy Reserve. I spend roughly 6 months a year living on ships when I am working. My job gives me the flexibility to pretty much live anywhere in the country. I plan on moving out of NJ to get my real estate investing journey started. I have been doing research on markets and it seems like Columbus OH, Forth Worth TX, Houston TX, Chicago IL are the best possible markets in my price range at the moment.

I am very motivated and excited to start my investing journey towards financial freedom with the great BP community. My next steps are to start building my team and networking. Please reach out with any help and advice! Much appreciated.

Respectfully,

Matt

    Welcome to BiggerPockets! It is a great place to learn about real estate investing. I started listening to their podcasts in 2017 when I bought my first duplex.
