Investing Newbie in Atlanta, GA

Hey y'all! My name is Josie. I'm a mom of a spicy 11 yr old. I've been in Atlanta since 2001 and have been in my home for almost 9 years. I've been getting the itch to move and finding BiggerPockets has shown me a more creative way to move and invest. 

I'm a Technical Analyst with dreams of being financially free by 55(20 yrs from now) and with house hacking and RE investing I believe I could do it in half the time. I found out about BiggerPockets while falling down the YouTube rabbit hole about investing in real estate. 

I look forward to connecting, learning and sharing as I embrace the journey.

    Hey @Josie Kelley welcome to the BP community!

    Might I suggest two main focuses for you right now: 1. Education & 2. Networking. Do as much of both of these as you possibly can, but doubly focus on that first one until you have a solid foundation. Also, you may want to read the House Hack Strategy by Craig Curelop if you're looking for a creative way to move in the near future. 

    And please, feel free to reach out to me anytime you have questions or just want to chat about RE and the ATL market!

    Thanks @Brenden Mitchum! Yes! The book is actually in my cart on Amazon! LOL! I'm giving myself a year to get my knowledge up so I can start making moves in 2022. 

    I will most definitely take you up on your offer!
