First deal in Stamford, CT!

Hello All,

I’m feeling very excited! I have been researching real estate for several years and will be closing on my first deal next week!

My first deal is a single family house hack. I’m planning on living in 1 room and renting the 2 other bedrooms out to family members. With the additional income, my mortgage and taxes are basically covered.

Best,

Dean

Hey @Dean DeMattia, congrats on getting started! My second property was a house hack, and it's treated me VERY well. After two and a half years of it, I'm putting an end to it this spring though. I'm looking forward to having my house be my HOME, and I'm in a financial position where I can finally afford to not have housemates. 

Stamford is a tough market to get into for real estate investing, but buying a Single family that you will house hack certainly makes it doable!

What's next for you?!
