NEWBIES ....Multifamily investing / House Hacking

[Richard Gray III]

Hey BP family, my name is Richard Gray III, i am 25 years old and always have had a love for real estate, ever since i was younger watching extreme home makeovers. I’ve had a real eye opener last year of life with the passing of my father. He work 30 years at GM and after his retirement really didn’t have much to show for it. 

I realize that that’s not how i wanna live my life, i wanna take the step to move forward to financial freedom for me and my mother. After many hours of listening to the bigger pocket podcast i have came to the conclusion that, house hacking could be and would be a great first step toward building my portfolio and over the years to increase little by little into triplex, Quads, and continue moving up. 

But i don’t really know where to start, my financial status is not good, and in my earlier years didn’t make many great choices when it came to my credit.

Is there any words of advice anyone would like to pass down to get me started on my real estate journey???
