Hi everyone! My name is Brian and I just moved to Wichita, KS this week after accepting a full-time engineering position. I would love to talk with a realtor or someone who could use some extra hussle on their deals. I'm mostly interested in multi family properties but am open to any good deals :)

@Brian Erhart congrats on getting a full time job right out of college! I'd definitely recommend house hacking to get started. You can learn the ropes and maybe even make some money if you buy the right deal. You can probably get some pretty good cash flow in the Wichita market I would assume.

@Jeremy Taggart thank you for your kind reply! It is my dream to own property in Pittsburgh someday. I don't know the market there, but I hope business is boomin! P.S. Go Steelers!

Welcome Brian ,
I have been living in Wichita close to 20 years and I think it’s a great place to start investing. I also recently graduated and bought my first home and am now looking to start buying real estate here. Like @Jeremy Taggart said it would be very easy to find something to house hack here.

@Brian Erhart Welcome to BiggerPockets and Congratulations on your new position. You had mentioned it is your dream to own property in Pittsburgh someday. You can certainly make that a reality. It's a very strong market for Investors as the buy-in is a lot better than other more saturated markets. If you ever want to talk more about the market here, feel free to reach out to me. And Yes, Go Steelers! That was a heartbreaking game this past Sunday. lol

@Gary Swank Yes it was! Hopefully we can bounce back this week. I will definitely keep that in mind! My goal is to have a vacation home there in the next ten years. Hopefully by then I will be close to getting my season tickets! Best wishes! - Brian

@Brian Erhart Welcome to Wichita and to BP! Congrats on the new job. I’m in a similar situation, recently out of college and looking to house hack. Trying to do it with a young family which limits my options more, but staying optimistic. Best of luck and hope to see you around here.

Buy a duplex - lots of nice ones that are in great areas to maintain a family - check out some of the duplex developments near K254 /Rock Rd and 254/hillside - easy to get a loan as well since you'd owner occupy

Welcome to the site @Brian Erhart. Like @Gregg Jossie I have a young family too. Biggest advice I have is to find a niche and become the best at whatever it is you want to do. Repetition, keep pushing forward. Do something positive toward your goal and then replicate it again. Then again. Eventually it will snowball into something really cool.

@Brian Erhart That's awesome! It's a cool city. Speaking of vacation homes we're actually working on rolling out an airbnb 3 unit here right now.
