Congrats Mitchell and welcome to BP! These are great goals. Check out the BP podcast episode talking about 12 Week Year, I think you might like it.

Hey all, I spent 2020 getting my real estate license in Maryland and have big plans in 2021 and beyond. Have been on here reading and listening to BP for a little over a year.

I am interested in Buy and Hold, and BRRRR. Seller financing interests me, and I love developing partnerships that work for everyone. I would eventually like to invest in single family / duplexes / triplexes in Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Montana, and Vermont. For right now, I am focused on Maryland (Gaithersburg, Rockville, Baltimore areas).

Would love to connect with any and all investors, hard money lenders, private money lenders, contractors, tax experts, lawyers, and anyone who wakes up thinking about achieving their big life goals, one day at a time.

I'm always down for a quick 10-15min zoom chat to see how we could help each other.

Prior experience includes managing co-working spaces, recruitment manager, event manager, digital advertising, digital marketing, and web development.

Thanks John that makes a lot of sense. I hadn't thought about that and definitely helps with my search

Hey everyone, I’ve been on a mission since January 2020 to move out of my rental in DC and into a house hack in Maryland by November 2020. In March, I moved out of my $1200/mo shared house in DC and into a $650/mo shared house in Gaithersburg, month-to-month (adding all of that savings to a down payment fund).

My question is: given the global pandemic and uncertain economy we’re in, would you sit tight a little longer and continue to rent, and see what happens in X months before jumping into a house hack?

Is the pandemic/economy making it difficult to find tenants for a house hack right now, and is this not a great time jump into this for the first time?

I have plenty of sales/digital marketing/management experience so I feel that I’m going to love being real estate, yet I just wonder if there are reasons I should be cautious about diving into these murky waters at this time.

I’m currently looking at 4-bedroom homes, $265k-$385k range and rent the other 3 rooms. I also began my pre-licencing work in January to get my real estate license this year, as I eventually want to move into real estate investing full time. Analyzing deals constantly and reading daily.
