First home I purchased before learning about bigger pockets.

Investment Info:

Single-family residence other investment.

Purchase price: $350,000
Cash invested: $25,000

I bought this home before I found bigger pockets. I was already house hacking before I knew what house hacking was. I always knew that to have good retirement you needed property and that's why I bought my first home. I rent out the 2 rooms on the main floor and the basement. Had I'd known about bigger pockets before this purchase I definitely would've gone with a duplex.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Didn't know any better.
