New Member in New Orleans Area!

Hey everyone, I moved to the New Orleans area about a year ago for a pretty good job that has given me some disposable income.  I thought it would better serve me to invest it in real estate rather than let it sit in a bank.  I've been doing research and reading and watching video after video for months and I'm ready to start investing. 

I would like to house-hack my first property, so that I can get some hands on experience with property management and DIY repairs and cosmetic upgrades.  I want to move toward owning multiple properties to the point where I make more money from my investments than I do from my job.  I want the freedom to leave the daily grind and focus on my entrepreneurial endeavors.

If there's anyone in this huge community that has any advice for a first-time buyer with big-time goals, please don't hesitate to give it!

Thanks in advance,

-Korey Ashton

Welcome to BP @Korey Ashton! I am a local investor and realtor in the New Orleans area. Shoot me a PM with your contact info and I'd be happy to discuss things with you. I can also give you some good advice on being a first time buyer and put you in touch with some great local lenders.
